    "content": "In that same breath, I implore my colleagues from the other side that the Committee of the whole House should be a stage where amendments are discussed and won or lost based on merit, relevance and compliance with the Constitution. I urge them to stop the habit of carrying a paper written “No” or “Yes” which is shown to them by one of the Members. I have observed that any amendment from our side is outrightly opposed without any discussion. This does not foster or support the law-making process in this House. I discourage the young legislators from rejecting amendments because they are moved by Hon. (Dr) Oundo, from Funyula, who does not support the Kenya Kwanza Government. That does not foster democracy. I urge us to review matters based on merit. Finally, on the issue of Utamaduni Day, I sincerely urge all of us to go back to our constituencies and invigorate our culture. Many of us have constituents living in Nairobi who hardly go home, and if they do, it is for a short time. Now that we have Utamaduni Day, through The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
