    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me thank the Leader of Minority Party for raising those issues. A number of them are not accurate. I have been with him in this House for almost 11 to 12 years. We joined this House together. He has alluded to previous rulings by Speaker JB Muturi and the precedent he set. He knows for a fact there is no single moment that Speaker Muturi or any other Speaker in the history of this House allowed the process of winnowing which is alluded to under the Standing Order on Money Bills. That is a fact. The Leader of the Minority Party knows it. Winnowing is done in other Bills, except Money Bills, that are not subject to Article 114 of the Constitution. That is why I have said that what the Leader of the Majority Party said was not accurate. If this was not a Money Bill, a winnowing process would help the House to process the myriad of amendments that are similar in a faster way. With all due respect, the Leader of the Minority Party knows that it has never happened in Money Bills in the history of this House. They are subject to the provisions of Article 114 of the Constitution. This is neither the first nor the last Finance Bill we, as a House, are processing. It is neither the first time nor the last time we will see filibustering."
