    "content": "I believe the Committee has availed Mr. Kimunya the opportunity to state his position and, indeed, when the Committee tables its report in the House, the Chair will avail the hon. Member yet another opportunity to respond. Dragging the Chair into the matter under inquiry and debate 2278 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 31, 2007 was most unfortunate and deplorable. Using derogatory language in reference to this august House in terms such as \" upuzi \" is beyond any acceptable standard of conduct of any hon. Member. Whereas I wish to have this matter come to an end, may it serve as a serious caution to the hon. Member that the Chair shall not, under any circumstances, tolerate such conduct. In the same vein, I would like to refer hon. Members to previous rulings by the Chair on continuation of debate outside the House contrary to laid down parliamentary conventions. Hon. Members will recall that, yesterday, hon. Shabesh, hon. Linturi and hon. Jirongo did raise issues with Ministers who, of late, have been responding to matters that have been brought to the fore in the House in fora elsewhere. I, therefore, appeal to Ministers not to discuss matters raised in this House, outside the House, as the Chair will always give Ministers time to respond to them in the House. I would like to appeal to all hon. Members to maintain the dignity of this House individually and collectively, both in the House and outside. This nation looks upon you for leadership and guidance. The nation and Kenyans, at large, desire to be led by men and women of integrity that will help, inter alia to actualize Vision 2030 and to make this country eternally the best to belong to and live in. I thank you."
