    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Commonwealth tradition, a Whip maintains discipline in the party. A Member who defies his party runs the risk of being de-whipped. That is why my colleague, Dr. Kituyi, said correctly that you cannot approbate and reprobate. You cannot defy your party and expect it to confer positions upon you. This is a matter well established in the Commonwealth tradition. How else would parties keep discipline? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to admit that there are difficulties within the ruling coalition, NARC, and that is why the Chief Whip has to crack his whip."
