    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to seek clarification from you with regards to the communication you have just made. There is somebody who said here last week - I cannot remember who it was - that Senate is a gracious beneficiary of court orders. The reason we survive is because on many occasions, when Members of the National Assembly in total disregard of the constitutional provisions have gone ahead to do things that injure the standing and place of the Senate in our Republic, we have always rushed to the courts and that is why we are still relevant. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that on your desk you have a court order against the decision that you have taken. Would it not be better if you inform the House why you have chosen to take this decision in total disregard of a valid court order? It might be Sen. Mwaura today, but we do not know what anybody else out there may do tomorrow and it may require the gracious protection of our courts as a House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, please guide this House with regard to that issue because I find it to be a grave matter. It is not an issue to be treated casually such that a notification is just issued and we move on as if nothing has happened."
