    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. First of all, let me apologise for walking in and attempting to want to talk. I did not mean to offend you. Hon. Speaker, the matter that you have just dealt with is important but I think that there is one thing which has been omitted or included in this discussion. I like your guidance and I like particularly the submissions by Members, particularly Hon. Metito ole Katoo although I was watching from outside. The issue of decorum is a must if we want to conduct business but I wanted to take this opportunity to plead with our colleagues on the other side, particularly the Leader of Majority--- I said yesterday that we are approaching Christmas. Eventhough we have the rules of the House or the Chair or the Speaker may be right, attitude is important. When we address each other with bad attitude or face, and that is exactly what Hon. Mbadi was saying--- We do not need to annoy each other. It is six months down the line and we probably did not know one another. But now we have been together like brothers and sisters. I think we need to conduct our business as people who live, eat and do everything together. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am saying this because I think the matter of yesterday which seemed to offend some of us is a matter which has been addressed ably by Hon. ole Katoo that the House leadership could have ironed out. It used to be when you were here as a Member of Parliament or as a Chair of a Committee, that when there was controversy or when there was an issue that the House could not agree on we called a Kamukunji, so that those things which we saw here could be addressed away from the public eye. I want to plead with you as our leader to advise us from your memory how it works or what will make us live together in a cordial manner with one another and with each other. This is because nothing had to be rushed yesterday. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
