    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Chepkong’a. You have said what the Hon. Speaker would have said. The Standing Orders are here to guide our debate. The only variable, Hon. Chepkong’a, is that sometimes a Member on the Floor is visibly out of order and it becomes innocuous to ask a Member which Standing Order when you can see that the Member is veering off the Standing Orders. So, sometimes, we exercise that discretion. What I want to urge, particularly my brother from Budalangi, is that when you have a point of order, even before we switched to use of electronic gadgets, all that a Member needed to say was: “Point of order”, and sit down. The Hon. Speaker will listen and give one a chance. Normally, when a Member is on the Floor when another Member calls a point of order, the one on the Floor stops talking, sits down and waits for the point of order to be prosecuted, and the Hon. Speaker will rule whether it is a point of order that is valid or not. However, we have seen the bad example from my brother from Budalangi, who was not only shouting but also gesturing at both the Chair and the Member on the Floor, and sometimes uttering words that are not very palatable. That is not very good. I want to encourage my brother Wanjala: You are senior and there are juniors here who want to learn from you. I do not want them to learn the bad things but the good thing from you as a senior so that we keep on mentoring our juniors to move together with you who have been here longer. Let us listen to Lilian Gogo. Farah, I will give you a chance after Lilian. Please, do not open any debate on Sabina Chege. There is no Motion on Sabina Chege here.
