    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a new Constitution and the Fiscal Management Act in place. Those Acts have given this House an opportunity to agree on things. I want to go on record that the Leader of Government Business, the Assistant Minister for Finance and you, yourself, have persuaded me in my capacity as the Chairman of CDF Committee, not to proceed with the amendments I had proposed. However, as I concede that, I also want it to be on record that there is no need of putting in place new Standing Orders that give powers to Committees if a Committee like mine is lying low; that you can take that as if it is just an exercise in futility; it is a matter of personal feelings; it is a matter of political considerations and a matter of a political environment. This House cannot be part of the game of playing politics with the lives of Kenyans. This House must be a House that will uphold and demonstrate the commitment to the rule of law and order and constitutionalism. That is the difference between this House and a fish market, any other place or a baraza."
