    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also agree that when a person, of whatever nature, be it Jicho Pevu or Jicho Povu happens to be a Member of the National Assembly…This is a hallowed House. When you are within the precincts of Parliament, there are many things you cannot get prosecuted for saying. This Member is not semi-literate. He came a week earlier and stated that he was going to use the Floor of the House to name those he fears to name outside because of the consequences. Now using that kind of knowledge, he came to the Floor of this House and was very eloquent in bringing what he brought which did not have evidence. When it was ruled by the Hon. Speaker as being insufficient and inadmissible, he went out and exploded not on the substance, but on the issues of the proceedings of this House by the presiding officer who is Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, we should discourage those other Members who might have the temptation of engaging in such bad manners, thinking that they can hold bad manners as a crown of honour - that is what this Member for Nyali wants to do. He must be named to serve as an example to others. When I feel aggrieved by your ruling, the procedure is clear on what to do with a bad ruling by the Hon. Speaker. You do not do what he has done. He has abused people and they are going to deal with him. We need to start here by cleansing the name of Parliament from the foul mouth of the Member for Nyali. I thank you, Hon. Speaker"
