"content": "Give us guidance on how you came up with that communication, taking into account that there is an existing court order. There are several steps that have to predicate your decision before you render it. I expect that you will consider tabling before us the correspondence from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Tribunal. I also expect an explanation as to why a valid court order has been disregarded by the political party, the IEBC and the Senate, such that my personal friend is no longer a Member of this honourable Senate. If we allow your communication to stand, we shall be setting a very dangerous precedence in this House. Next time it will be you or me, where the Executive uses its power to deny, de-whip and denominate our fellow colleague. I urge the hon. Senators to, please, rise and stamp our authority on behalf of Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura. It is now that he needs us. Next time it will be another person in a similar predicament. Notwithstanding our political differences, let us stand for our colleague."
