    "content": "It is my feeling that what happened, happened. Going forward, we need to encourage debate so that even if you do not agree with what your colleague is saying, it is important to listen. We beseech you, Hon. Speaker, and you have done it and continue to do it, give us opportunity to express ourselves, both those who are for and those who are against. It is wrong if one does not agree with a position to start heckling and shouting. We lost an opportunity. Most of us have watched debates elsewhere in the world when it comes to a budgetary matter, like we are going to debate the Supplementary Estimates in a short while, and we owe it to this country to express ourselves properly. Kenyans may agree or disagree with us, but we should be allowed to put forth our positions and explain why we are supporting the Supplementary Estimates or not. The Finance Bill is a major Bill because it deals with tax issues, which are very emotive. We need to allow Members to ventilate so that in future, someone can go through our HANSARD and see what Hon. Duale, Hon. Angwenyi or Hon. Mbadi said."
