    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the work we do in this House is not playing to the gallery. We have a national job to do. You have stated correctly that I have no personal interest in this issue. I feel saddened that somebody no less than the Senate Majority Leader can stand at the Dispatch Box with impunity and seek to pontificate to me and the House and tell me to declare my personal interest. It is imperative that if he does not know any personal interest I have in the matter, he should withdraw and apologise, not just to me, but to the House. I do not want to be intimidated by the Senate Majority Leader, that he will choose the questions I ask or the statements I seek in this House. That I have to seek his approval so that they do not, as it were, have personal interest in this matter. I am a Senator for Murang’a County. At the same time, I have a national duty to play when I stand on the Floor of this House. Whether a person comes from whatever corner of the country, it is wrong for the Senate Majority Leader to impute ill motive on me or any other Member or to purport that he can decide what a personal interest is and what is not. What statement can be or not sought in this House. I demand that he apologises and withdraws."
