    "content": "In relation to what the Leader of the Majority Party has said, the 11th Parliament was transitional, but the 12th Parliament has its full five-year term. The fact that it is also stated that we cannot be beneficiaries of any amendment, be it of law or of the Constitution, it was going to put us in a very awkward situation. We would have been the first beneficiaries of such an amendment were it to pass since we would have extended our term in office by a few months. Therefore, we would become direct beneficiaries in terms of allowances and salaries that we would draw for the months beyond the current five-year term. As Hon. Chris Wamalwa gets an opportunity to speak, I want to persuade him that there are other ways of looking at this thing.
