    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a different comment altogether. I want to register my disappointment with the disparaging remarks about this House and you, as Speaker, that were made by various Members of the National Assembly during the debate on this Bill yesterday. As a leader in this House, I take great exception to the fact that there was a Speaker on the Chair, who knows very well the Standing Orders of the National Assembly and what it requires of them if they need to discuss the conduct of any Member of Parliament. Least of all is the fact that he allowed certain Members to make unsavoury remarks about you without intervening or asking them to withdraw. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would wish to send you because I know you occasionally consult with the Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. J.B Muturi. Please, register our disappointment collectively as a House. We are not short of insults and very good superlatives we can use on that House. However, since we are very honourable people, we keep our discussion to levels of decency and ensuring that every time we debate issues, though we may hold contrary views to those of the many of the Members of the National Assembly, we are always decent people and keep our conversations to be within the confines of the law. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
