    "content": " Order! Who is on a point of order? Are you on a point of order and the Speaker is standing? Order, Hon. Members. If you want to discuss the public functions of any public figure, including the President, you can do so. You can say that the President sent forces which did this-or-that. Member for Tigania West, you are a lawyer. Hon. Kiborek, I forgive you because you are a first-timer. You do not talk when the Speaker is on his feet. Order! Listen. I hesitate to throw many of you out of the Chamber because of the interest in this Motion. I am sure that somebody else will do that one of these days. I am trying to educate you on how to use your mandate and practise it very well. You can discuss the public functions of any member of the public. The only thing that you cannot discuss is his or her private matters. You can discuss the public functions of the President and say that he did this or that and it is wrong, but you cannot discuss private matters. Please, listen. For God’s sake, if somebody says that the leader of opposition organised the demonstrations and did this-and-that, it is perfectly within his rights. You must behave like a dignified Member of Parliament and not someone out there in the crowds. The moment someone’s name is mentioned and you keep on shouting, it denigrates and lowers your dignity as an individual. Nobody holds the dignity of somebody else. You hold your own dignity. The way you conduct yourself in the House makes you the responsible dignified leader that Kenyans are looking for. That does not include shouting. For God’s sake, do not engage with each other across the aisle. It is now Hon. Waluke’s turn."
