    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a result of that tough pressure from the people Kakamega, we got an injunction from court and as we are waiting for hearing and determination of the matter, the Governor has been gracious enough and suspended the Bill and I have just learnt from e-mail that the invoices that had been prepared to invoice people at the higher rate are now being shredded. Pressure is solid gold. Even Section 2A went because of pressure. Even colonialism went because of the pressure of MAU MAU. Even the slave trade went because of pressure. This Senate must continue putting pressure. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the final point that I want to make is about the disturbing issue of the stalemate between the Lower House and this House. This is all, again, because of lack of civic education. If we gave civic education to the Speaker of the Lower House and some of the Members of the Lower House, they would see the futility of what they are doing. Also, the President needs civic education, because how on earth did he come to assent to Bills that had not passed through the Senate when he knows that he is not a President under the unicameral system, but under the bicameral system?"
