    "content": "fact of adjourning that makes what you do become considered. It is the substance! Almost on a daily or weekly basis this House considers Bills proposed from the Executive. This House expresses itself on all those proposals. The House makes decisions. You know, as a House, how many Bills you have passed this session from the Executive. You did not agree with each and every proposal. When you did not agree you acted according to your own convictions and what you passed is the law. Hon. Mbadi, what you passed became the law. It cannot be that on this matter where the Constitution is so clear you start saying that this cannot happen this way. The precedent that you will be setting will be the most dangerous one. I cannot go that route. It is you as Members who must make the decision. There have been Bills on Wildlife, the VAT, Tax Appeals and so on, did you approve every proposal from the Executive? Why is it difficult for you to disagree with the current proposals? Whatever are CORD reservations from the President, they come to the House – you can go to history. The reservations always come to the House by way of proposals from the President on how he would want a particular legislated proposal to look like. It is for the House to either agree or disagree, or agree with amendments, or disagree with amendments. The Constitution gave you all those options. Hon. Members do not try to play to the gallery. Do not try to play games. The Constitution is clear. Hon. Members, I will not allow any further debate on this. We will proceed to the next Order."
