    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion for a good reason. If there was a time this nation went out of its way to demonstrate patriotism, it is when our team sang the three stanzas of the National Anthem and continued to show that this country is greater than us, politicians. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during Christmas we have come to this Senate to deal with matters, in my view, of lesser importance. We came here to vote on something I think we should not have, but we did. However, for purposes of people who go out there, particularly our athletes; this is not about any of us. It is about people who make this country proud. The Olympics would not be the real Olympics without Kenyans participating. So, if we have to work at night, let us do so. That is why I support this Motion. I am ready to come and sit here to see that this Bill is passed – particularly, because we are not the only ones who are doing it. Therefore, there is no reason to pretend that we can fast-track this Bill because, then, we would be violating the law."
