    "content": "It is not about kama wanafanya ama hawafanyi. It is about the procedure you are using to raise that matter. It is the procedure. I do not know whether it is happening or not but as far as I am concerned, if you want to discuss any Member here, you have to have a substantive Motion. It is in the Standing Orders. So, you are not withdrawing the fact that one Member or the other has not done this. You are actually withdrawing because you have raised it. In any case, you are actually giving a sweeping statement about a big group of Members. I do not think you want to go that direction. I do not think you want to go in that direction because in this august House, we respect each other. By the way, you have nothing to lose by withdrawing and apologising. You have nothing to lose. You can go and raise those other issues at the Committee level or you raise them differently, but not in the manner you have done. I am sure you will be very uncomfortable proceeding with this matter. I have just told you to simply withdraw. It is a simple thing. You have nothing to lose but we have decorum of this House to keep. We have decorum to keep. You can imagine if somebody, Hon. Obo, discussed you as an individual, and levelled all sorts of accusations. You would want them to substantiate. You would want them to do that. I do not think you want to do to others what you would not expect them to do to you. As I have said, I have no evidence one or the other. The only thing is that I cannot accept and I cannot allow you to take an opportunity I have given you to discuss something to issue very wild allegations against your colleagues. I do not think I will accept that."
