    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No. 101(4) that states- “No Senators shall impute improper motive to any other Senator or to a Member of the National Assembly except upon specific substantive Motion of which at least three days’ notice has been given, calling in question the conduct of that Senator or Member of the Assembly.” When I stood on the Floor of this House, I was the most disrupted by point of orders from the Majority side. However, at no point, did I impute any improper motive on any Senator. This is because we are hon. Members. I know the struggles we go through to be elected or nominated to be in this House. I know our commitment to the people of Kenya and to our constituents. Every single weekend, I go to my constituency. I drive for almost 600 kilometres, all the way to Masangora in Kuria to go and see my people, talk to them and listen to their problems. Is it in order for a senior Senator who purports to be an engineer - even if it is an engineer of making phones - to impute that I or even any other Member of any other part of this country, do not go to our constituencies? This is not fair. You must restrict him to the debate, withdraw and apologize to me personally and to all other Senators he has been imputing this motive on."
