    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, of late, the boy child has become a victim more than even teenage girls, especially in the era of sending fare. Basically, if we do not want the National Assembly to “chew” our fare, if that is a phrase that Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko is more comfortable with, let us hold on. I plead with you. I do not know what the hurry is for. The National Assembly should pass the mediated version, or at least let the report be tabled before the National Assembly. Otherwise, we have a cheque, but we are not sure whether we can have cash at the right time. We need to be advised properly. If there are mechanisms in place to convince us that there is a way you can safeguard that agreement, then we will be more comfortable. I do not know why Sen. Wambua is smiling. Maybe he knows other ways of safeguarding what I am trying to say. That is the cause of my concern which should be addressed properly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, Sen. Orengo made a comment which we cannot allow him to get away with. It is true that the proponents of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) had a victory this morning, but that is what we call a pyrrhic victory. Out of the many things that they pleaded, that is the only one they can hop on and say at least they got something out of it. For all intents and purposes, they never got what they wanted, but that is neither here or there. We are happy that this House will remain a better institution than what was being proposed in the BBI. That is our source of happiness."
