    "content": "I am very afraid for this country. I am sorry that the people whom we represent--- I want to thank hon. Members here for the vigor, courage and goodwill that they have portrayed for the last two or three months in service to this great nation, despite the challenges and hard times that they have been going through. I am also afraid and this is a question that may be answered by the Leader of the Majority Party in this House. It is an issue I would want them to answer. Could there be some conspiracy on the part of the Government to emasculate and intimidate Parliament so that it is not able to perform its functions? I was not a Member of Parliament during the old KANU days though I served in this House as a Member of Parliament representing the great party KANU. What I have told my brother, hon. Cheboi is that, in the Seventh and Eighth Parliament, whenever there was an issue on the Floor and probably some people were not trying to play ball, hon. Members were being summoned to State House for brown envelopes because they were very desperate and were broke. Let us be honest: When people are poor; when people have nothing, the probability of compromise is very high. What we are trying to fight here is that probability of trying to compromise a Parliament that is exercising an oversight role on the Budget that goes beyond trillions. When we ask these questions, nobody wants to talk about it."
