    "content": "It is not very easy that you have sat, taken evidence and then when it comes here you are told, “No, this is rubbish.” You see everybody is a human being. Moreover, you may be doing it for many reasons. You know, Members have even alluded to some of the reasons. Therefore, I think we will go to what is in our Standing Orders. We will respect what Hon. Ndindi Nyoro was about to do. I will, therefore, not allow Hon. Ndindi Nyoro – and this is my ruling – to move in the direction of naming any Member here in the plenary without a substantive Motion. That is our Standing Orders. You cannot come and make disparaging remarks in the form that you have admitted in your own words, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro. Were you to name a Member here without a substantive Motion, you will be in breach of the Standing Orders. Therefore, I will be satisfied with your admission that you actually referred to Members as such. With regard to the Member for Gatundu South, whom I have also known for a long time – it is good for me to say this because he also claimed to have known me for some time, and he knows that I am incapable of getting intimidated or even getting annoyed by any remarks – he is at liberty to make whatever remarks. In fact, he has made several remarks about me, including one after he saw me presiding at a church function somewhere in Uriri Constituency, where Hon. John Mbadi was present. Hon. Moses Kuria went ahead to claim that I had been fed with some fish and that is why I had said that the Report of the Building Bridges Initiative cannot come here, which is a fact. It could not come here except in the manner that it was brought, through a Bill. The Members who were there, including Hon. John Mbadi and others, would have told Hon. Kuria that was what we were discussing. However, Hon. Moses Kuria is at liberty, as he did at that time, to claim that Hon. John Mbadi, who left the function even earlier to go to another one, had fed me with some species of fish. I do not know which one. Hon. Moses Kuria knows best which one. However, I take them to be the things that entertain Hon. Moses Kuria in his free time. I know that during his free time he is a very active Member. Those are the kinds of things that cannot, in any way, make me hold anything against Hon. Moses Kuria. I do not know what species of fish he himself prefers. Maybe, he prefers some species of chicken or some other stuff. However, Hon. Kuria is at liberty The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
