    "content": "I am not praising him because he is here. It is because I chair the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration and know what we have done. Madam Temporary Speaker, you are also a Member and you know that we have done a lot by sacrificing our time. What is the problem with asking Members to attend, so that there is quorum to discuss a Bill and finish work? Why the back and forth on amendments after amendments? What is it for? That could have been concluded on the Floor of this House. Here we are with Bills and time is almost lapsing. This is not the work that Kenyans brought us here to do. Most of our work is done in committees. Dropping those Bills is because of lack of quorum. I urge us to log in during hybrid sessions. Let those who have the credentials to log in do so. Some of us were locked out a long time ago. Therefore, we cannot vote, yet we are part of this House. I do not want to talk about individuals. If you are here, kindly be there for the sake of Kenyans. These Bills contribute to the laws of Kenya to help Kenyans. I thank the Senate Majority Leader. Let us fast-track the Bills. The secretariat does a lot of work in order to help us do our best, but Bills end up resting in the committees. Let us work as a House and unite in passing these Bills, so that they can move to the other House for consensus. That way, we will move Kenya ahead. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity."
