    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not out of order. This is a Motion for Adjournment and I am free to say anything. Maybe, the hon. Member is new. But I have no problem. He is in the learning process. I do not mean to disparage anybody but I think if something is wrong and it is not spelt out, we cannot afford--- What I am saying to hon. Members, as I finish, is that it is those false poverty indices that shall be used on the Equalization Fund, 15 per cent and the 85 per cent. We are giving away the rights of our people as we watch. It cannot be done without debate. We can tolerate each other. We ask the Chair that we need a Kamukunji and agree. Nobody has a problem with another constituency getting anything but we have a serious problem if it is being rammed down the throat of our people. I think all of us are equal and that is why people have gone through so much. I think of the days when I slept in the snow in Washington DC in 1989 to force economic sanctions on this country. We were doing it to arrive here! I would be wrong if I do not express why we wanted freedom to our people. It is important and we need to tolerate each other; we do not need to leave Parliament where we are paid to go to court because we think Parliament is becoming intolerant. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
