    "content": "This is not the first time a Member has filed a Motion against a Cabinet Secretary. For those of us who were in the last Parliament we discussed Prof. Kaimenyi a whole afternoon and the Speaker approved it. Hon. Speaker, we even discussed you. Remember somebody brought a Motion against you and we discussed you a whole afternoon. That is how transparent this Parliament is. We have a Member who was a former journalist. You know the rules of journalism and those of Parliament are totally different. You cannot apply the rules of journalism here. In journalism you look for information by all means. But here you use the Standing Orders, procedures and traditions to execute your mandate. This Member qualifies to be taken back for an induction course. This is because he does not look like somebody who understands how Parliament operates. Yesterday he was accusing me for whipping Members not to append their signatures in his fake signature collection list. He was standing in front of the gate telling people it was a SACCO loan form instead of an impeachment Motion. That is how untruthful he is. Around six Members of my party told me they signed that Petition thinking it was a Bunge SACCO loan form. They never knew they were signing an impeachment of a Cabinet Secretary. This is because he did not have grounds to impeach the Cabinet Secretary. Honestly, Members are here and they can speak for themselves. We cannot allow a Member to impute improper motive on this House. This is a House of dignity and should be respected. If he feels he cannot survive in this House under the rules, he has no option but to get out. Lastly, I do not know whether to share this with the Members. I went to visit the speaker in his office and I saw him bringing documents and some of them were Court of Appeal judgement. For judgements that have been made, what has Parliament got to do with them? He should go and appeal in the Supreme Court. Hon. Speaker, your ruling was timely and it defended the Constitution, the Statutes and Standing Order. You have no apologies to make. I want you to agree with the Leader of the Minority Party that this Member must be named because his behaviour is unbecoming. This is not"
