    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join Sen. Wetangula in requesting, most humbly, that you step down this Bill. The institution asking us to hear them is an organ recognised by the Constitution; the Council of Governors (CoG). The CoG is also directly recognised by the same Constitution as shareholders. Ask Sen. Muthama if you want to know the pain of being locked out of a national conversation by being denied an opportunity to be consulted. On 18th December, 2014, Sen. Muthama was denied an opportunity to be heard by the National Assembly because he wanted a Bill to come here. He went there and was, God forbid, stripped naked. I do not know whether his sons-in-law or daughters-in-law had an opportunity to see him. Let us not allow ourselves to be given an opportunity to strip governors in this House, so as to persuade us to listen to them. They are not asking for too much and the House is not going to die if we wait. More importantly, we did not come here to legislate for Parliament or for ourselves but for the 45 million Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg you. Thank you."
