    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in lauding everyone who has participated today, and more importantly, you, for your landmark rulings that you have made today. All eyes were on the Senate. We have done justice. However, what we have done today, will be put to test on 4th January, 2017 because we have only postponed the issue. The biggest New Year gift we can give to Kenyans is to ensure that we come up with something that we would give way and show light to the country. When Sen. Wetangula was speaking, I tried to rise on a point of order because I have no doubt whatsoever that the Committee that you have committed this Bill will do justice. We must put it clearly that even if that Committee has majority from the Jubilee side, the chairmanship of that Committee is from the CORD side. That is for a reason. We could have bulldozed and got the chairmanship. So, it cannot cast aspersions. We expect nothing but the best results from this Committee. Going forward, good faith is two way. It is very disappointing when we sit here and debate for hours on the procedure, especially on the Special Sittings; then, the same people go to court to object to a process which had not even ended. We need a demonstration of good faith from every divide. Even CORD need to demonstrate that as we have agreed to debate this, they can give that a chance and the Committee to do their work.
