    "content": "apologise to the House to the conscience of those Members. Unless there is a substantive Motion which then every Member will be at liberty to contribute –if we proceed in the manner that we are about to, we will ourselves be guilty of not following the same Standing Orders and by extension breaching the Constitution which is the anchor of the Standing Orders. As for me, I am not worried about it. People are at liberty to say what they want. You have even seen cartoons. In fact, it is not even lost on me that just this week a Member who spends very little time in the Chamber here – I will not name him – mistakenly this Tuesday went to comment that all Bills and Motions have been moved by the new Leader of the Majority Party and seconded by the Leader of the Minority Party and, therefore, the National Assembly is dead and the Speaker is the mortician. Remember that the Member is very rare in the House, but those are not things we should really worry about. We just encourage the Member to come here a bit, so that he can make a difference when the Leader of the Majority Party is contributing. On that day, the main Bill which was before this House – I am sure Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona and many of you can attest to that – was the Finance Bill, 2020. Who was moving that Bill? It was the Chair of that Committee, Hon. Joseph Limo, but that Member did not see."
