    "content": "democracy, one must accept that a position will be taken where some will lose and others will win. Members who sit in this House held very respectable positions wherever they were, even before they came to this House. It is unacceptable for anybody to insinuate that they can be bribed to pass such a critical constitutional amendment Bill. Even looking at the voting pattern, it transcended political affiliations. There were diehard Tanga Tanga members who voted for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill, simply because it is the best thing that has ever happened for this country. Our colleague’s statement was even picked up on Facebook. You can imagine the wide reach of Facebook to the ordinary people of Kenya. Many of us who went to the constituencies were humiliated. We were being asked everywhere we went to share the Kshs100,000 that each one of us got late on Thursday night. I urge our colleagues who lose not to be bad losers. When you lose, accept reality, move on and vow to fight another day. I wholly support my colleagues who said that we must put this bad habit to an end. Disparaging your colleagues and holding your colleagues in bad repute will not take us anywhere. We diminish the exalted position of this House in the society."
