"content": "Hon. Speaker, I want you to protect me because we never interrupted Hon. Duale when he was speaking. He should show some respect to us. We are making laws for Kenya today and for posterity. It is not fair to make laws and get your interest and lose Kenyans’ interest. It will come to haunt you. Let us make laws that will protect you, W anjiku and for posterity. We should not make laws for short-term gains. This will not be good. Since this legislation is causing a lot of anxiety and conflict, although you gave a ruling and I do not wish that you give another ruling, in your wisdom, because you are a very gifted and intelligent Speaker, I just want to appeal to you to set it aside for further consultations. As the President said during the Mashujaa Day that we have to come up with good pieces of legislation, we sleep over it, consult the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and other stakeholders, so that we can eventually pass a good legislation that is accepted by all the Members. If we pass it as it is because of the tyranny of numbers, I am sure it will come to haunt us at some point."
