    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I watched and was appalled by that video clip. I saw this Member in the company of a few political rejects. I am not being rude because these are former Senators who were removed by the public in the last elections. Those are the people who were seated there cheering him on. Hon. Speaker, I have listened to you a number of times speaking about Members prosecuting their issues in the media. A lot of times you have said there are Members who purport to have a Bill in the House, while they do not have. Many times, you have warned us against that. We have agreed that choices have consequences and so it is important that some punishment be meted out against this Member. You will remember in the last Parliament we had issues here. I am happy that Hon. Opiyo Wandayi is here because he crossed the line. There were consequences and punishment meted out. We will lose track if we allow this Member to get away with this situation. It is important that we ensure he gets punishment for his behaviour. I would like to add the fact that even when you read that ruling, you talked about the number of Members who had asked to withdraw their signatures from his Petition. Many of those Members belong to Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya (WDM-K). Majority of them will tell you that they were cheated into signing that Petition. So not only is he continuing to besmirch the name of the House, but he also collected signatures by false pretense. This is a conman and we need to deal with him. Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity."
