    "content": "I apologise, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, last week, I did not know that we lent Hon. Olago to the other side to even bring the amendment which seeks to stop party-hopping. Hon. Olago is ours. When you say that we were whipped and did the opposite, then you are not being factual. I want to tell Members of this House that I have gone through elections three times, but it has never been easy. It is also factual that only 24 per cent of sitting Members come back to this House after elections. It is also factual that more than half of those 24 per cent become a product of party-hopping. This happens because of certain issues. When discussing these issues, we must ask ourselves, are we doing the right thing? We should ask ourselves whether we are doing it for the sake of it or just because people outside this Parliament have instructed the debate."
