    "content": " Hon. Speaker, today is a day that I will remember. Early this year, we passed the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill in a very chaotic Sitting. An Hon. Member: You are a CS! Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, UDA): I am not a CS until I am approved by this august House. I remember - and the Hansard will prove me right - I told my colleagues then: “Do not make laws that will haunt you!”. There are people who are running away from that chaos. As they say, “ Murife, do not run. Murife do not run’. Hon. Junet and his colleagues, do not run. This matter must be decided this afternoon. Hon. Speaker, your predecessors have decided more complex issues. I was with you in the 10th Parliament, during the Grand Coalition Government, where the Leader of Government business used to be the Chair of the House Business Committee. When the Vice-President, then Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga argued on who would chair the Committee, Speaker Marende took over. In the Legislature, you are the arbiter. You should not be referred to anything. Listen to us and base your ruling on law, facts and evidence. Hon. Speaker, what our opponents are going through is what the medical doctors call placebo. Placebo is something like a lie in a healing. It is where you claim that you have healed psychologically, but you have not healed ."
