    "content": "This is the HANSARD. The Speaker of the Senate must protect the integrity of the Senate. He must sign alongside you, Hon. Speaker. We cannot have the shenanigans of the Senate in making sure that they avoid procedure. Let me call a spade a spade. Those Senators are not very intelligent. I want them to hear me today. They should have been intelligent yesterday when they were in the Mediation Committee. They should have rejected and raised an objection. Yesterday, they agreed to the commencement date of 1st July. They should have insisted on a commencement date “upon assent.” However, they agreed with 1st July. It is on record. When they came out, they realised that their case in challenging the Appropriation Bill is dead on arrival before a court of law. They were cheated by their Legal Officers. I really thank the Budget Office. I thank the Legal Officers from the National Assembly. They have realised the shenanigans they were doing in court will not proceed on the Appropriations Bill with this amendment. I always tell them that the National Assembly has 349 Members, but there are a lot of intelligent people. We knew what we were doing. So, they have no choice. I challenge the Speaker of the Senate.

The officer who advised the Senate and altered the Report and misled part of the membership of the Senate on the content of this Report must be dealt with. This is unacceptable! I saw it in the other mediation where the legal counsel of the Senate gave a view. The Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee said that there are different interpretations of the Bible, which is wrong. There is only one interpretation in the Quran. The Sheikh who is in Mecca and the one who is at the far end in my constituency will interpret a verse the way it is and this is the same in the Bible. Of late, he has been tangatangaring . So, he does not go to church. You cannot say that the Bible can be interpreted by different people differently. Am I right? I am sure Christians agree with me. The Bible cannot be interpreted by Hon. Ichung'wah and Hon. Wamalwa the way they want. The Quran’s interpretation is the one which was left by Prophet Muhammad. Do not play around with the holy books. Play around with the manifesto of"
