    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know lawyers can say anything to you. So, you have to be careful. I find it very difficult to share the Senate Majority Leader’s persuasion that we will fall into a trap if we do what some Members have suggested. What we see here is a very clear pattern of undermining this House by the National Assembly. It is not just about the Bills. That is the issue. This morning, the Senate Majority Leader was absent. However, the issue of the Monitoring and Evaluation Fund was discussed at a Kamukunji meeting. There is an obvious attempt to try and undermine the operations of this House by making sure we do not legislate and oversight effectively, thereby failing as representatives of the people. That is clearly coming out and to continue hiding behind this story that we do not want to engage in juvenile behaviour, is beside the point. It is time this House fought for its space. It is time the leadership of this House stood up to the leadership of the other House and demanded for that space. If it means frustrating the business of the other House in order to ensure that this House gets its space, so be it. We need to do that. That is my point."
