    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. cannot raise a point of order when I am responding to a point of order. He is a master of contradiction because the Hansard proves me right; that he supported the Bill. If there is a person and a group of people who are actually demeaning the Senate; who are bringing the reputation of the Senate down and dividing it, it is those who attempted to defeat this Bill yesterday. Mr. Speaker, Sir, people want us to blame the Minority Side to say, ‘you see the Bill did not go through’. But as I said earlier, there is no single Bill which failed in the Second Reading in the last five years. Even where there were murmurs in the House and a Bill almost got lost in the Second Reading, we always caucused, allowed that Bill to go through Second Reading and came back to the Committee Stage. There, we either defeated the Bill if we thought that it never accommodated the concerns of our counties or we allowed it to pass if it accommodated those concerns. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, without going into too many stories, we are ready to pass the Bills based on the majority-minority side. From today going forward, we are prepared as we go to the next Division. I do not want to say much, I just want to lay my Statement on the Table. Let us proceed in the manner in which we started yesterday. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
