    "content": "No, I do not mind; he can say it again. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as Sen. Khaniri and Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko have stated here, it will continue to happen. At the end of the day, we know it is politics. However, when you have a list here that includes an independent Senator in the House, it is a travesty of justice. We cannot just sit here and pretend it is business as usual and we continue to do so. Yes, it will happen again just like it happened before, but please do not gag us; let us say it as it is. As we proceed, we also know that there was an order this morning from the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal and we know that there was no reference made of it. So, as we continue to just bend the law, continue with the fraud and continue with everything, then perhaps we should not continue sitting here and pretending that we, as a Parliament, are independent. We are not. This is because we are directed from other chambers or quarters. That is why such a communication does not come from a Whip, but from wherever it came from. Nonetheless, it is okay. That is a story for another day because it will happen to others. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will move on, but we shall continue fighting for our cause. We are sure and it is not a secret that, probably the reason we were replaced in a dictatorial manner and without following the proper procedure is because we are independent minded. We shall continue being independent minded, whatever the cost. As I sit, I will read a quote from Sen. Ted Kennedy. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
