    "content": "jurisdictions very clearly. I thank the team which prepared this Bill under the chairmanship of Hon. Keynan for bringing out all this information and knowledge. So, we can compare ourselves with those other jurisdictions which have been in place for centuries like New Zealand and the United Kingdom (UK). We can compare whether we are performing as those long established jurisdictions. Parliament exercises the sovereignty of the people of Kenya. So, it should be paramount. I know there are people who will contest that. It exercises the sovereignty of the people of Kenya. So, who is this Judge who is going to impose upon you Kshs10 million fine when you are exercising the sovereignty of the people of Kenya? This Bill removes all the threats and fears that we would suffer before we undertake our roles and mandate. Therefore, I wish Members of the National Assembly will come here in big numbers when we will be going through the Third Reading to make the appropriate amendments if they think there are amendments to be made. Then, we pass it with an overwhelming majority, higher than what we did yesterday on extending the period for considering some laws. This one affects us. All of us have travelled by air. In an aircraft, you are told to take care of yourself first before you take care of even your own child or spouse. So, let us take care of ourselves first and then we take care of those others whom we want to work with. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
