    "content": " Hon. Senators, the dignity of this House rests in your hands. I am your Speaker, not your prefect. I am here to coordinate and facilitate debate. If you decide to be belligerent, the only thing I can do is to ask you to leave the Chamber, so that you allow your colleagues to continue with debate and the business of the House. So, the dignity of this House shall not be brought about by the number of Senators we ask to leave. That is why I am very restrained in asking a Member to leave the Chamber. I will always caution with the hope that a Member will see the need to behave in a manner that befits the title of an hon. Senator. So, let us help each other and the Chair. I will help you by conducting and facilitating debate. You are elected to come to this Chamber and debate matters of national concern. If you are going to belittle ourselves to the kind of things that the Senator for Kakamega has just alluded to, then honestly, we are really belittling the dignity of this Chamber. So, hon. Senators, let us uphold the dignity of this House by the way we carry ourselves. Senator for Kisumu, you may proceed."
