    "content": "I still have time, Hon. Senator. I want the people of Narok to know that I will be on the frontline to organise demonstrations against any amendment to the Election Laws. In fact, I want to congratulate Mr. Chebukati for coming out to clearly say that these amendments should not be enacted. Hon. Members and Kenyans, you should realize that this is a beautiful country. Yesterday, a Senator who has more of his family members in Somali told us that there are kids who were born 25 years ago and they do not know anything about freedom. If you amend this law, Senator Murkomen, your kids will never know freedom. Do not forget that you are on the majority side today and tomorrow, you may be on the minority side. When you are given power, do not abuse it because that is exactly what you are doing right now. This country is more important than an individual. If I may plead with this House, this is a House of reason and union, it is supposed to unite this country. Let us reason like men and women of good character. Let us be judged by history as people who stood against impunity and injustices. Let us remember that we are all in this House because of the will of the people who elected us not because of our selfish interest but national interest. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I vehemently oppose this Motion."
