    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with these masks on, breathing is difficult. However, it is the crisis of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join colleagues in commending this Committee, which is ably led by the Senator for Mandera County, for this Report on the Division of Revenue Bill. Since I have very few minutes, I will go straight to the point. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this has been a battleground. For long a time, I was fortunate to sit in the last mediation where Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. had promised bloody red eyes. We had a tough time. Even then, it became apparent that many sections of this House, meaning both Houses of Parliament, have become an appendage of the Executive. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must say without fear that I have been a party leader within the ruling party. I was the Chairperson of the National Alliance (TNA). Even here, as Jubilee, we stand and support the Government. However, support to the Government does not mean keeping quiet when there is nakedness in the palace. Mr. Speaker, Sir, support for the national Government is giving them proper advice, saying that we do not agree with this, but this is what we want. This is because all of us were elected. For those who have come for their first term, or maybe, have not been in any echelon of leadership within a political party, the more you parrot and praise, the less relevant and less serious you are taken. I assure you, I have seen it."
