    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw but I am saying that there will be a huge migration that will occur in this country in a few months. Perhaps this is the last week we will be here before people go for complete competition for their political party tickets. Therefore, I believe as we go to the various parties, we will migrate. Those who will have their parties like Sen. (Dr.) Were, who have a well- organized run party called Amani National Congress (ANC), however small it is, I have not seen them with drama. I believe we will now learn a lesson from Sen (Dr.) Mwaura to respect the rights of its Members and to respect the court. I believe that the costs that will be awarded to Sen (Dr.) Mwaura will be punitive enough to teach political parties to respect their political direction. I think - we will discuss later the President’s State of the Nation Address - if there is something that this nation must learn for the five years of second term of President Uhuru Kenyatta is that, it does not pay or reward to disobey the law, the Constitution and court orders. Welcome back, Sen (Dr.) Mwaura. We are very happy for you. The law firm of Sing’oe Murkomen and Sigei Advocates who participated in defending all the nominated Senators, six of them successfully defended them in the political party disputes tribunal and successfully defended Sen (Dr.) Mwaura and brought him back here. I want to congratulate my colleague, Sen. Cherargei and Hellen Tuisime, an international lawyer in our law firm, who participated and worked so hard to ensure Sen (Dr.) Mwaura comes back to this Chamber. The law firm, the SMS Advocates are very proud of you, Sen (Dr.) Mwaura. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
