    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My colleagues have said what I wanted to say. Today, I will sleep a very proud and happy Kenyan. This is my second term in Parliament. I can confess that there is no single time in any Bill or any law-making that I have taken full part. This is the only Bill I can quote from the title up to the end because I have taken a lot of interest. I do not want to go too much into lauding the goodness of the Bill which is becoming law shortly. On behalf of the many groups including professionals who contributed to this Bill I say thank you. I had 170 proposed amendments. My brother will say how many he had but in total we had more than 400 combined amendments. We were all worried however, I can assure you that even the professionals especially those involved in the construction and infrastructure industry have realized that this thing is for all of us. We have toned down where there are overtures on some issues. When we went for a meeting, I went there as a combatant because I thought some rights were being taken away from professionals and the rest of the people, I being one of the consultants. I want to take special opportunity to make special recognition to the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade because what they did all of us should emulate. This is because if those amendments had come to the House the way they were, it could have taken two weeks. However, this Committee convinced us. At the end of the day we managed to condense everything. Even those who are combatant like hon. Gumbo, Humphery and others, by the time we all came out we were softened and humbled because those who were hard against us also worked."
