Kariuki","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":330,"legal_name":"Godfrey Gitahi Kariuki","slug":"gg-kariuki"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Being a Member of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we have gone through this Bill and it was not an easy thing to get where we got. There were a lot of negotiations. Whether we got the majority decision or not, I think we must thank the National Assembly as well for arriving at a certain conclusion. Whatever happened during the negotiation should never be made an issue here. This is because during negotiation, there are those who agree or disagree on a position. When an agreement is reached finally, we should go by the resolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, following what Sen. (Dr.) Machage has just said, I think we are put into unnecessary pressure all the time. Time and again, we are told to remain here and vote on a Bill that has a constitutional deadline. Otherwise, it may become null and void the following day. I think that you and the Clerk should help us to be doing our job within the right time. Thank you very much."}
