Methu","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13581,"legal_name":"Methu John Muhia","slug":"methu-john-muhia"},"content":"Specifically, a Senator who wishes to speak on any matter in which a Senator has a pecuniary or proprietary interest shall first declare the interest. So, I do not think going to school together is pecuniary or proprietary. I do not even think the witness before us is a Senator. Standing Order No.104 is for a senator who wishes to speak on a matter. So, the Standing Order that he quoted is irrelevant. I am sure he just wanted us to know that he went to school with brilliant fellows, but that is now water under the bridge."}
