    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The route that the Minister is taking to try and convince the Member to basically withhold the Bill is not good because it will set a very bad precedence. Just like it has been alluded to by hon. Mututho, this House’s term is almost expiring and the Executive cannot wait for five years to give social assistance to our people and when a Private Member tries to do it, the Government persuades the Member not to do it. I want to plead with the Minister to allow us and even bring amendments to this Bill in line with whatever they have so that we have the Third Reading of this Bill next week so that our people--- We can even “structure” the Kshs6.5 billion they give to Kenyans because our people are dying. We look awkward and appear to be the most extreme capitalists as a House because we are not reacting to the poverty of our people."
