Sifuna","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13599,"legal_name":"Sifuna Edwin Watenya","slug":"sifuna-edwin-watenya"},"content":"Madam Temporary Speaker, this House is also guided by traditions and customs. Last week when Sen. Cheruiyot was moving a Motion, there was a directive by the Speaker that when somebody is moving a Motion, no points of order would be allowed. In fact, you asked me personally to hold whatever point of order I had until he had finished and then I would raise it at the appropriate time. These interruptions when somebody is moving a Motion derail somebody's thought process. I am sure that we mean to have a sober debate this afternoon. I just want to urge that as we have agreed and discussed in previous meetings, let the rules apply fairly. If it has already been established as a custom, that when the Senate Majority Leader is moving, no objections or points of order are allowed, what is good for the goose must be good for the gander."}
