    "content": "Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I understand where Sen. Methu is coming from, but the Standing Orders of this House are clear. At times you have ruled on that, but I know it makes more substance when a Senator raises it. Standing Order No. 101 states- (1) Neither the personal conduct of the President, nor the conduct of the Speaker or of any judge, nor the judicial conduct of any other person performing judicial functions, nor any conduct of the Head of State or Government or the representative in Kenya of any friendly country or the conduct of the holder of an office whose removal from such office is dependent upon a decision of the Senate shall be referred to adversely, except upon a specific substantive Motion of which at least three days’ notice has been given. Madam Temporary Speaker, the word I was looking for is ‘adversely’. I find the Senator of Nyandarua being adverse because I am interested in what he is saying. I am interested when he says that the head of State has used millions of monies going to launch projects in his area which he has not used to launch projects in my area. I would wish that he brings a substantive Motion to this effect because the MTDS is a very important part of conversation for us to manage debt. This debate about MTDS is not a debate on what the President is doing currently by launching projects. While that is a matter of interest for Sen. Methu, he is being so adverse in it that I am finding it juicy. I feel that he would execute it better when he brings a substantive Motion so that we can all participate."
