Sifuna and maybe those who feel like him, I will have you appreciate two things; that these amendments, if you listened to the debate that has come from both sides of the House--- None other than the Whip on my side has said he is filing an amendment. It is very clear to me that it is upon you, as a Member, to file your amendment and convince us that, “the reason I am proposing this amendment is because of a, b, c, d.” If it makes sense to everybody, I believe we will pass that amendment. I repeat, Sen. Sifuna, because I have been in this House and I know Members. After we vote, many of them never bother to follow through with what they had proposed during the debate. Please, file your proposed amendments."}
