    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, today is a good day because when there is a crisis in this House, we have many Members of Parliament and there will be no lack of quorum in this House. I want to laud the work of the Leader of Government Business and the Chief Whip for having filled this House with hon. Members. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I support the amendment as moved by hon. Kajwang. First of all, Kenya is going the coalition way. We must support this amendment for posterity of democracy in this country. We have issues which happen in that the Leader of Government Business or the Leader of the Official Opposition may be given a position by virtue of friendship, voting through a party or to marginalise others. Mr Speaker, Sir, when the Leader of Government Business turns rogue against other hon. Members of his political party, what happens to this country? It loses its ways of promoting democracy in this country. We have to support this amendment, so seriously, because we want Kenya to move forward and not backwards to the dictatorial days where hon. Members could be told to toe the line."
