"content": "I was appalled to see in the National Assembly, a Member of Parliament (MP) beckoning another to come closer to him and then physically very viciously assaulted him as if they were at war. In the scenes we saw, televisions were juxtaposing violent scenes in the Kenyan Parliament and violent scenes in notoriously violent parliaments of Korea, Italy and Somalia. It is a shame that we can reduce ourselves to that level. I salute the distinguished nominated Senator from Ruiru. I remember when one time I said something that offended him, he became very livid. Later, he followed me and said; “Look, I realised that being livid on the Floor of the Senate does not help anybody because nobody was interested in my rage.” There is a colleague here who has told of how in the National Assembly, he used to be notorious for grabbing the mace. He came here and one time, he contemplated that, but he saw that nobody was interested in that kind of behavior."
