    "content": "In the last Parliament, we passed Bills in a hurry, sometimes up to midnight. In the process, people made mistakes and we had to do a lot of amendments considering the time limitations which were there. Hon. Speaker, as I am seconding this Motion, I want to ask all my colleagues to be on board because Article 261 is very clear on how this is supposed to be done. We need everybody. This is not an issue of Jubilee alone. This is an issue of all Members of Parliament because the mandate of Parliament is to do legislation. We are a bicameral institution and whatever we do here has to go to the Senate. When it goes to the Senate, we do not have control of whatever the other side will do. We will be required to also give them enough time for them to carry out their legislative mandate. Hon. Speaker, we do not want to get into a position where Kenyans will be running to courts to ask for dissolution of Parliament. I beg to second."
