    "content": "Today, we have behind us very sensitive Bills: the Election Laws Bill, the Election Offences Bill and the entire Report of the Select Committee also behind us. We are done with it. Now that it is over and headed to the Senate, it will not cause jitters for our political leaders. At least if we cannot have our way, we can have our say. This House has risen above its own self- interest and self-perpetuation. The ball is now on the court of those who lead the political parties to make them more democratic. Nobody hops from one party to another just for the sake of it. People do that for the sake of survival including myself. I remember just two weeks to the elections of 2013, I was in the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD). I thank God that I jumped ship. I was in ODM and I thank God I jumped. They did not believe a woman can make it for a political position in a conservative community like the Maasai. We proved them wrong. I thank Jubilee for giving me a chance. By giving me that chance, we made history."
