"content": "Hon. Speaker, let me remind Hon. Limo that the reason why we have live broadcasts of what happens here is so that we can follow the proceedings of this House from wherever we are in the world. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, you do not have to sit here to do your work. However, I am saying that, as Members of Parliament, let us not be held hostage by our party affiliations. We have a constitutional mandate to deliver for Kenyans. Once you get in through that door, as an MP, your first responsibility is to pledge your loyalty to the people who elected you. Secondly, your pledge to protect the Constitution. Thirdly, you pledge your loyalty to the other bodies you are talking about. Therefore, while I support this Bill, moving forward, we should avoid this way of doing things, as a House. We should do things in the right manner. With those remarks, I support the Bill as it is now."
