    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to congratulate you. Many a times fruits just fall by the tree and they only fall when they are ripe. It is only prudent that a wise man who has discharged his duties responsibly be recognised by his community to be given another level of responsibility. This is exactly what has happened to you, and I congratulate you. The great people of Rangwe Constituency also congratulate you. There was a matter that was raised here on the manner of dressing that Members need to observe. It is also getting worrisome. It is prudent that in your wisdom that your community and the larger Kenya has seen as you discharge your responsibility, that you spew this wisdom on Members who have juvenile tendencies. As it were, among us here, there are Members who forget that all of us who are in this National Assembly for one reason or the other are representing an electoral college. There are Members who do not have respect for colleagues. I need to bring your attention to what is happening. What is making me to stand and talk in this National Assembly are the people of Rangwe Constituency. It is important that it is brought to the HANSARD that if you do not address and bring to conclusion matters of disrespect among colleagues, then it is going to escalate to something nasty which is not good for this House. I am saying this without fear of contradiction because I have looked at it responsibly and as an academic, if you do not address the matter of Hon. Gladys Wanga spewing a lot of political insults at me in my constituency, then it is going to degenerate into something else that is not going to be very pleasant for this House. So, I seek your indulgence on this matter that investigations are done accordingly, and it be addressed responsibly. I congratulate you once more for your new role. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
