"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want us to be very sober today and prosecute this matter in a process that would set a precedent and being futuristic. I want to pick it up from where my colleague, the Senator for Baringo County, left. I want to borrow from what is commonly referred to as the doctrine of pleasure. This doctrine is derived from the English Common Law. It states that civil servants serve under the pleasure of the crown. A Whip is defined as a person who enforces the parties’ policies. A Whip is not there under their own volition for them to be able to determine how party policy should be adhered to. When a Whip does not rally fellow legislators to vote on matters according to the party policy, that Whip may lose that position. In fact, in other jurisdictions they are even expelled from political parties."
