If I brought a statement here paying glowing tributes to the Governor of Nairobi City, that is not adverse reference. If it is saying I have not seen him in a few weeks, that is not adverse reference. That narrow understanding of what adverse reference means would guide the House to the nature of those statements. In my view, I did not hear any adverse reference. It was a narration of events."}
