"content": "I support the Deputy Majority Whip so that we step down this Bill as we build consensus. Consensus is not built within one or two hours. We can build it over the weekend through Monday. Moreover, the Leader of Majority and the leadership of the House can consult the Executive. We work together. This House must make a decision that is beneficial to the people of Kenya. That is why we are saying the NG-CDF is very critical. It is because it benefits the people of Kenya. The Division of Revenue Bill is beneficial to the people of Kenya. Therefore, I support and would like the House to agree with me so that we defer the Bill. We can bring it back on Tuesday. We are at a very critical stage of this Bill. What remains is for the Question to be put. Hon. Speaker, question to be put is not a matter that can even be deferred. It is a serious matter. We cannot even debate. We really beg you under your leadership. We have never gone wrong historically. You have led this Parliament well. We really want to beg you to agree with what the Majority Deputy Whip has said. Let us step down the Bill and get back to soberness. Let us go back and deal with the matter of the NG-CDF. Hon. Speaker, Hon. Pukose is very sober because he is a surgeon. Surgeons are very sober because they deal with precision when they are in theatre. However, there are others who are economists who are politicians and others who did political science. Therefore, I really want to ask that you use your wisdom and step it down. I request that you agree with Hon. Maoka Maore, and then we move on to the next agenda. Thank you."
