"content": "are being told that the Minority Side will stay without a Whip until that matter is resolved. It cannot be true. In my submissions, I ask that you separate matters that are covered by these proceedings and the court order that was served upon you. If there are matters that are not covered by that dispute, make pronouncements on the leadership of the Deputy Minority Whip seat. Lastly, we heard you being told that you should be afraid of some undisclosed consequences if you were to defy a court order. As a lawyer who did not waste time or sleep in class, I can assure you that the office is distinct from you. The office of the Speaker is an office with perpetuity. It does not say on this order that if the Senator of Meru, hon. Kathuri Murungi, disobeys this court order, he will go to jail. There is nothing like that. I can assure you that because we have a battery of lawyers here. If there is any consequence that will come by virtue of you standing up for the dignity of this House, free legal services will ensue from the Minority side."
