    "content": "“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 shall be referred to adversely, except upon a specific substantive Motion of which at least three days’ notice has been given.” The Standing Order has paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) on the same. If we have to discuss the British Government, which is a friendly country or a representative of that country domiciled in the country or on a visit or representing that country itself, we cannot do so without a substantive Motion, which also requires a minimum of three days’ notice to the House. So, I am afraid that under the circumstances, difficult as they maybe, the Chair is bound by the laws of the country, our own Standing Orders and our rules of engagement. My humble advice, or counsel, to the Members of Parliament is to follow our own rules, if you wish to introduce an appropriate substantive Motion on the same."
