    "content": "That is not to mention people in the civil service, teachers, police officers; people who are earning very little money, so to speak, and the economy is in the doldrums. So, when we come here and because we know we have the numbers, we are going to lord or ramp the Bill through, it is all fun and games for now. As a politician, I pray that one of these fine days, we will be in the position that you are now. However, at least for us, we know that we will use the power that we get for good and not to ram things through simply because we have the numbers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in this House, if we are going to continue like this, then possibly there is no point in debating. We should behave the way the Speaker has behaved today, putting the question without bothering to hear the other side. We know we do not have the votes to carry through this Bill and this Motion. Please, allow us to speak on that. That is the key tenet of democracy. I can say without fear or favour that today I am embarrassed that you were my classmate at the School of Law at the University of Nairobi."
