    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. On behalf of the Jubilee side of the Coalition, I would like to apologize to this House and Kenyans for what might have looked like a degeneration of the dignity of this House because of provocation from the CORD side. But it must be known that we knew the politics that was being played. We also knew the grave consequences of not passing the Appropriation Bill. We want to appeal to teachers to know that the side of the House that believes in sorting out their issues is those who do not believe in playing to the galleries. When hon. Midiwo, a man of many years’ experience can purport to bring an amendment that is technically flawed, it is very sad. It was meant to hoodwink teachers so that they can go out the whole weekend and talk about how they supported teachers. I want to say this to the House: I know from experience that most of the work of ODM is to play to the galleries. They never had intention to deliver. I want to plead with my colleagues, today we may have crossed the line because it was our first encounter with anarchy but I want to assure you that anarchy, as long as it has the leadership we saw today, will continue. Let us be on our toes. Let us keep the promises of the Jubilee Manifesto. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
