    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in as much as I respect the ranking Member, Senator for Kakamega County, I have two points of order. One; I do not need to apologise to anybody because my facts are on HANSARD. I said; if there is a way, we can have a conversation about internship payments in this country. Two; I am rising on Standing Order No. 101. It states- “No Senator shall impute improper motive to any other Senator or to a Member of the National Assembly, except upon a 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” Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale cannot be allowed to be making sweeping statements. This is a House of rules and order. Did you listen to him trying to discuss the Member of National Assembly for Kiharu Constituency, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, without bringing a substantive Motion? Creating a perception among the eyes of Kenyans that instead of doing his job as Chairperson of Budget and Appropriations Committee, he is doing politics. Is it in order? In as much as he has his opinion about him or whatever, our Standing Orders guide us at any given time. Can the Senator for Kakamega withdraw and apologise because tomorrow, somebody else will come and discuss another Member of National Assembly or the conduct of another person who is not here to defend themselves? I know he has been getting away with many things such as, creating snipes against colleagues. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should behave like a Majority Whip unless he is the Majority Whip in Government, but in opposition. He should choose sides. He cannot be having his cake and eat it."
