"content": "No, Hon. Members. I do not need your assistance. Hon. Gathiru, you are right to raise the issue that you have. However, you need to communicate. That is the kind of thing that you should have written about if you were aggrieved by that conduct, so that it can be... Bringing it here amounts to discussing the conduct of the Chairman in a manner which is not in keeping with the Standing Orders. You need to come up with a substantive Motion and make those allegations in the Motion, so that the House resolves itself one way or the other. If you want the Speaker to make a determination, I need to get the facts. You are stating facts about what happened on Friday. I have no knowledge of what happened on Friday. I would have to start digging. I do not know where you were. You say that you were in some village in Mombasa. I have not been to Mombasa for the longest time since the outbreak of COVID-19. I may not know what exactly has been happening in Mombasa. You are at liberty to raise a complaint if you feel that you are in any way being insubordinated or forced not to participate. You say that you were told in the afternoon that the meeting was over. I do not know. Just like we sat here at 2.30 p.m., you yourself know the time when you came. There are some Members who came much earlier than you, like Hon. Sankok. You could come, raise an issue and walk out. By the time you come back, the matter has been debated and finished. You then ask what happened to the issue you raised and are told that it was discussed and a determination made one way or another. From here, I cannot make a decision unless I find out from the clerks what issue you raised, if at all you did. If you raised it, was it captured in the minutes? This is so that I know whether you raised the issue that you have just mentioned. Did you actually raise it?"
