    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the bone of contention, in a nutshell, is the Deputy Prime Minister. Clause 3 as it was in the Bill was subjected to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. What am I introducing? I felt hon. Musalia Mudavadi, who served as a Deputy Prime Minister, had been left out. One day he might decide to say: “I do not want the box; I want the money.” If hon. Musalia Mudavadi says he does not want to deal with Amani Coalition, then he must be entitled. My colleagues are saying, because I have introduced Deputy Prime Minister in Clause 3, it should have gone to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. As I agree with them, hon. Uhuru Kenyatta is serving as a President, while Musalia Mudavadi has served as a Vice-President. Hon. Musalia Mudavadi will get his retirement benefits as a Vice-President of President Moi. That is one. Secondly, hon. Mbadi’s ultimate amendment to delete Clause 3 was to deal with my amendment, which will come under Clause 2. It is only that I became so intelligent that I had to fix him and I brought this amendment. He should have talked to me one week ago. So, it is not a money Bill. If you say it is a money Bill, Musalia Mudavadi served as a Vice-President and he can earn his money under that category. The one one- million-dollar question we should ask ourselves is: What was the intention? If Clause 3 went through the Budget and Appropriations Committee, what would be the intent, purpose and rationale if it is not going to be mischievous for hon. Mbadi to delete it? We can as well oppose your deletion as a Coalition. If we have to give political party leaders money in retirement, Peter Kenneth, Martha Karua, ole Kiyiapi and Mohamed Dida from my region must be given."
