    "content": " Thank you Mrs. Kilimo, I have already acknowledged that Ms. Karua and my friend and classmate Mr. Mungatana were able to take that step of faith and resign. I would like to see some of my seniors here taking that step instead of challenging the law all the time and trying to trash the law whenever it does not suit them. Whenever the law does not suit them, it will be challenged. The principle of collective responsibility will be thrown out through the window as trash as long as it does not serve their interests. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by appealing to the House that even as we may be annoyed, even as we may be very unhappy with what we think is an affront from the Executive, in trying to right this which we think is not right, let us not go beyond the powers that we are given by the same Constitution and law that we are defending. Let us not do a job that is not for this House. This is especially when we, ourselves, are interested parties in this matter. We should give room to the courts to play their role so that the stability of our constitutional order can continue to be maintained. Thank you."
