    "content": "I know it is under Standing Order No.52(1) and that is why I am asking for your kind indulgence, just as you indulged Sen. Osotsi. I will spend my two minutes very effectively. Since I have not gotten an opportunity, I also want to join my colleagues in celebrating the life of Sen. Cheptumo, whom I served with in the Standing Committee on Lands. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also would not want to discuss the reason there has been heckling across the country on meetings that have been attended by the President. It is common knowledge that people express their displeasure in different ways. I am more concerned, even as we look at this matter, why anybody would round up people after a meeting and you want to arrest people and take them to court because they heckled you or because they expressed displeasure when you attended a meeting. How would the police actually identify the people who attended that particular meeting? If indeed, these are people who are known, why can they not be stopped before the meeting? I have seen that part of the reporting of the Motion that we had here yesterday about the Kenyans' attempt to clinch the AUC position. Senators condemned Kenyans who celebrated that loss. It is my opinion that Kenyans never celebrated because Raila Odinga lost. A section of the Kenyans who celebrated, did so because they felt and they believe that President William Ruto lost that election because it is him who fronted Raila Odinga. It is our responsibility to be happy when William Ruto is out."
