    "content": "The judgement under the contestations that went on yesterday was already out at the time Hon. Junet wrote this letter. He knew and designated himself, rightly so, as the Leader of the Minority Party. I called out the Motion to be moved, today. The Leader of the Majority Party moved the Motion and Hon. Keynan seconded. Once a Motion is moved, either you can move an amendment seeking the necessary support from the House that shall be put to a vote or you keep your cool. You do not change the content of a Motion by picketing on the Floor of the House and making completely unparliamentary and unhelpful statements. As it is now, the Motion we will vote to is properly in the House. It fully carries the names of both sides of the House: the Majority and the Minority. Upon voting on the Motion and if passed by the House, I direct the Members to go to Committee Room 9 for the first meeting of the House Business Committee to schedule business for tomorrow. I repeat that we have a greater duty to the people of Kenya than the shenanigans that we want to display here. The Mover of the point of order yesterday, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, said she respects the outcome even if she does not agree. That is part of fair game in any arena, that is judicial or quasi-judicial, like this House. Like I said, you do not fight or insult the judge if you go to court and lose a case. You say ‘much obliged, my Lord’. You will come back to fight another day. That is how the law works. I repeat that no Member listed on this Motion has been withdrawn because the withdrawal of any Member on a Motion like this can only be through an amendment to the Motion."
