    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to compare what we went through today with what is found in the Book of Esther Chapter 4, verses 13 and 14 which I will read:- “13Mordecai sent this reply to Esther. Do not think for a moment that because you are in the palace, you will escape when all other Jews are killed. 14If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arrive from some other place but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for such a time as this?” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate has become the cornerstone for the people of Kenya. The people that we thought would read and listen to the law – which are Members of the National Assembly – refused to listen and follow the procedure. I commend the Speaker of the Senate, the entire leadership and Members of this Senate for displaying patriotism and honesty to the people of Kenya that we do not belong to any side of the coalitions or oppositions but we stand to protect and bring dignity to the people of Kenya. If we continue this way, the stone that was rejected by the builder--- Remember we have been tossed around as Senate and denied funds but finally this is the anchor and the hope. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and ask the Committee to go and look at everything that appertains to what the Bill says. I thank you."
