    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am bringing the aspect of polygamy so that the basic understanding can be understood by the people I am trying to address. I am saying this because when you pick up that responsibility, as a parent; you have children from different mothers who are quarrelling, you must come in say, “You girls and boys are my children, and this is the direction I want you to follow.” We are, therefore, in a situation whereby our parents have become irresponsible. This is because they sit and watch us, as one House is trying to tear up the other. However, being the old “boys” and the heirs apparent; and to the extent that we must not behave like the others, I am happy that we are able to speak about this better. We are telling our fathers to listen, wherever they are, because this should not be happening if they are responsible parents enough to be called fathers. It is sad. In conclusion, allow me to say what many Members have said. The only document that we must safeguard jealously, for purposes of bringing order in this country, is this Constitution. Since there are provisions under Article 165, where one is aggrieved by whatever law, and the only area one can go to is the High Court of Kenya, let us prepare ourselves. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, coming from the Meru Community, you know we say: “Any circumcision has pus.” For you to get there, you must pass through that. If we have to succeed, we must be willing to go for the long haul."
