    "content": " Hon. Speaker, we said the other day that respect is earned. You indicated to us that even in this House, we must act with decorum and respect. It could also be said that you have to exhibit maturity in the House to earn your respect. In an endeavour to protect not only Members but also the institution of Parliament, the Inspector-General of Police indicated to me that they have instituted adequate security measures to ensure that every Member of Parliament who wants to access Parliament is able to do so. Hon. Members can vote willingly and not under coercion or duress, either for or against the Finance Bill. In relation to what Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo has said, it is true; we know the kind of intimidation that has been out there, but none of the Members in this House is a coward. They are here to exercise their mandate as bestowed on them by the Constitution of our Republic. They will vote willingly, without being coerced by anybody. The police are not here to tell them how to vote. Let them do their work. We will do ours from inside Parliament. Those who want to shout and excite the crowds out there, like Hon. Babu Owino may do, or parade themselves with the people out there, may do so but not in this Chamber. He must behave maturely, and not in the indecent, immature and imbecile manner he behaves."
