    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, in defence of Sen. Bule, his party, the Federal Party of Kenya is a member of the CORD Alliance. There is no doubt about that; Sen. Bule simply defected to Jubilee at the time when we were electing the Speaker. He is welcome back home, and we will be quite happy with him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to go to the point raised by the distinguished Senator for Meru County, that is now “Governorless,” I want to point out to my learned Senior the provisions of Standing Order No.244 (1) and (2) – Sitting in the Chamber. It states:- (1) “There shall be reserved seats in the Senate Chamber for the exclusive use of each of the following- (a) the Deputy Speaker; (b) the Senator Majority Leader; (c) the Senate Minority Leader; and, (d) Senators with disabilities (2) All other seats in the Chamber shall be available for use of any Senator. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is absolutely nothing wrong that Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen, Sen. ole Ntutu or Sen. Bule have done. But we welcome the symbolic gesture that the distinguished Senator for Narok and Senator for Tana River have demonstrated this afternoon."
