    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir; I also rise to very strongly support this Motion. It is important to follow the necessary procedures so that we do not create any disharmony in the society. On this issue of salaries for Members of Parliament, it is almost clear in our minds that wananchi have already spoken. They have even started going to the streets to express their position. Some churches in this nation have also expressed their dissatisfaction and even workers and trade unions have already spoken. According to the discussions and feelings of these various groups of people, they have been very negative on the intention that the Akiwumi Report has. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is also noted that the Akiwumi Report is not going to die. Its spirit will also be translated as per the Constitution of this land. It is therefore imperative that the Minister for Finance be given adequate time to present his position to the Bill drafters to develop those Bills and thereafter consult the President. This is to enable the President to have enough time to come up with the desired approval on the drafts. The President is the symbol of unity in this nation and whatever decision he is going to take, it will be for the interest of this House and the people of Kenya. Therefore, the Presidential consent on this matter is very important and it is from this background that I fully support this Motion so that the Bills will be sent to the President for the way forward. I support and thank you."
