    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I said before, I too support the Motion. I congratulate the Committee for a job well done and for annulling the regulations. They have actually reclaimed the role of Parliament and stood with the people of Kenya. I want to say here that this is a clear message to other agencies not to attempt to bring regulations and rules that are not in line with the law. Not to repeat what has already been said, I support. Given that we are soon going on recess, I want to wish all my colleagues a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. As we go out, lest any of us forget that we hold positions of privilege as we sit in this House. My appeal to my colleagues is that we do not use the platforms that we have to sow seeds of discord amongst our people, but do things that bring us together as opposed to those that divide us, particularly to the women as has been mentioned. There were very few women in this Parliament. Now, because of those women who came before us, we have at least a good number – 47 lady Members in addition to the 23. It will be most unfortunate that we do not leave those doors open for those who will come after us by the actions that, out there, definitely appear as those that are dividing the Kenyan people as opposed to putting us together. Once again, merry Christmas to everybody and may you have a prosperous New Year. Thank you very much."
