    "content": "He is not here to hear the things that we are saying. Let us also not appear like we want to work through Twitter as well. We read what is written in social media spaces. However, the Member is not here. If he was present, we would have given him a chance to say something either in rebuttal or justify his tweets, so that the House can take a decision, one way or the other, about him and that post. He is not present now. If you look at Standing Order No.107, what you are saying is possible. It can be done. A Member can be named and then the consequences are in Standing Order No.110. However, the Member is not present. Many years ago, there is somebody who was given a bond of Ksh500 to keep and maintain peace for six months. The person boarded a ship that same evening after committing murder in Mombasa. I do not know whether many of you have read that story. This is telling somebody to go and keep peace in the high seas where you have no jurisdiction over him. Yes, I hear you but the rule under Standing Order Nos.108 and 110 are such that any decision made by yourselves – if you vote to name him – then the sanction is supposed to apply immediately. So, if they apply immediately today and the Member is not here, they will continue tomorrow and Thursday yet the Member is still not here. As you know, Hon. Moses Kuria is not a very frequent attendee of the proceedings of the House. Maybe he attends the Committees but suddenly he is not very frequent in the plenary, or if he does, he must be one of those who sit somewhere near the pillars there. I cannot see the people who sit behind the pillars."
