    "content": "You know, Hon. Speaker, when we came to this House to represent our people and when we joined this National Assembly to lead this country, our reputation is at stake. This Member has been asked very specific questions. He should know that we are here as jurors, because these proceedings have turned a little. It is appearage proceedings in which one of us is misbehaving or is accused of unethical conduct. For him to take the stage and address Murang’a people and we give him airtime is even exacerbating this issue and putting our reputation at risk. I do not think we should give this Member what he is looking for. He wants what is called ‘ bonga points’ by addressing Murang’a people. To continue saying that some of us voted by our stomachs is even worse. He said that we are cowards and all those things, but now he is saying exactly what Hon. Kuria was accused of saying. He is saying that some people voted by what we ate, as though what we ate can turn into votes. He should tell us how he looked at my intestines and saw what exactly I ate. To tell us that some people voted because of party leaders, for a contemnor to come before us and start making the situation worse by abusing everybody, including the Speaker who must have partaken in that eating, is very serious. He even calls himself a youth when I know he is beyond 35 years of age. We have not come here for lectures. And we have not come here for people to abuse us.
