    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I happen to be the leader on this side. I have no problem with the adjournment of debate under Standing Order No.96. As I listened to this debate, I also noted another complex matter in the Report; there are 15 independent candidates and they have all been given provisional nomination certifications by the two presiding officers. When the Committee was doing its Report, it ought to have recommended that the Committee further nullifies the provisional nomination certificates. So, as we sit here, there are 15 Kenyans who this Report is denying an opportunity and yet they have some legal document in the name of a provisional nomination certificate issued by the two presiding officers. That brings me to the issue that we need to re-look in this Bill. The contest here is between the parties; those who want to build political dynasties and those of us who want to bring sons and daughters of peasants to this House. That should be very clear. Those of us who went to school barefoot and ended up in this House shall defend that. There are those who want to perpetuate their positions. I will discuss that when the full debate on this issue starts. I stand for the peasants and the poor Kenyans who do not have an opportunity. They must be given a chance by political parties so that they too represent Kenya. I will say the same thing were Hon. Kenyatta to bring his son here. I will say the same thing if William Ruto or Moses Wetang’ula or even Mwadeghu brought their sons here. If"
