    "content": "This is a money Bill and it is an important one. We are deciding about the retirement of our leaders, including that of the hon. Speaker. I looked at the signature on the amendment. Even that signature alone, had you looked at it at the stipulated time of amendments, I am sure the matter would never have gotten here without canvassing. All that I want to request you is to bring sanity. You have made a ruling here before. My understanding of a money Bill is that before it is amended, it has to go to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. An amendment is for deletion or inclusion. So, even the amendment of hon. Mbadi as per the ruling of the hon. Speaker must go. If we are to follow our rules, both hon. Mbadi and hon. A.B Duale are wrong in their attempt to amend this Bill before both amendments are taken to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Those are the rules of our House and there are recent rulings by hon. Speaker. I wonder why, sometimes, we create unnecessary hiccups. Hon. Duale, I do not know if you said B+ (plus) or D+ (plus). If it is B+ (plus) which is average, please, act like you got a B+ (plus). I beg this of you, especially when the country is so emotional. We should spend time talking about the seven additional people who were killed last night. Act like you got a B+ (plus) and we shall support you. We are ready and willing. Hon. Speaker, I thank you."
