    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order No.108 is very clear. The decision to either name or not name still rests with the Speaker, is it not? I am trying to explain to you why I do not want to exercise that discretion and make the decision to name. Let us just forget that. I encourage the Member for Nyali to also begin coming to the Chamber more frequently and spend a little bit of time. I am sure he will learn from many of you. Many of you are very experienced, including those who are doing their first term like him. A very good example is the Member for Funyula. I really admire his participation. Other examples are the Members for Mathare, the Member for Nyeri, and the Member for Mwea, the Member for Dagoretti South and so many of you because you spend time here. So, all we need to do is to appeal to them, because he is not alone. Come and spend more time here like the Member for Kimilili does very religiously. Come to the House and you will obviously be able to say some of those things and follow the example of the Member for Mvita, if you have an issue with anybody out there. Remember, the decision to impeach still lies with you Members, but you must provide annexes - as Hon. John Mbadi stated - in the rules so that you do not come and take us on a wild goose chase, when you have something as serious as this. Bring all the evidence and particularize the breaches that you are complaining about, including sworn testimonies where necessary, if you do not have documents, so that the Speaker can be able to say that, with all these, proceed to the Floor. We have done that in the past, have we not? So there is nothing special about the intention. But the Member for Nyali would need to be advised that, following the ruling on Tuesday, that matter now is dead, but he does not have to wait for six months as it was not a resolution of the House. That is a procedural decision that the Speaker had to make. He is at liberty to collect as The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
