Mugo","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":85,"legal_name":"Beth Wambui Mugo","slug":"beth-mugo"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to voice my thoughts on this important Motion. To begin with, let me revisit a vote that was done in the Eighth Parliament when the entire opposition walked out- I was in the opposition - and the Government side went ahead, transacted business and passed the Motion or the Bill. So, there is a precedence that one side can walk out and the business goes on. Otherwise, they will hold the country to ransom, which is what they are trying to do."}
