"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join hands with the Leader of the Majority Party and hon. Members who have spoken ahead of me. I would want to urge you that you invoke that section to defer the matter to enable the House deliberate on this matter further. The reason why I am saying that is because yesterday I was in a different meeting and when I came, I found the matter proceeding. I saw clauses that had already been passed and I was overtaken by events so, I chose to keep quiet. I would want to request and encourage the Leader of the Majority Party with whom we were in the last Parliament, that in future, whenever we have Bills of this nature, it is easier to have a Kamukunji so that by the time you are coming to the House, we have already dealt with the thorny issues. I would want to encourage, if the Speaker could kindly defer the matter so that we have further consultations. In future, we do not get to this point but we have a Kamukunji on contentious matters. As a House, it also enables us to move forward. I thank you."
