    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. Today, I am a very happy person because reason has overcome emotion. This august House will be judged by Kenyans as the 11th Parliament that was not selfish and that agreed on this negotiated Bill. I am happy because there will be no more street demonstrations, teargas, loss of property, loss of lives and displacements. It was the wisdom of the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and the three co-principals, namely Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula; and of course, the Deputy President, who agreed to whip us not to change this negotiated Bill. When we started, the Leader of the Majority Party and I were put in a very awkward position. Today, I am very happy that Members have seen sense and united across the political divide. I am very happy that what we have done today will strengthen the parties because there will be no party-hopping. Party- hopping is allowed within a specified period. Choose early and indicate where you will be since you cannot be in-between. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
