    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order 108. As you will recall, the other day when we were in this House, during the Special Sitting on 5th September, 2013, hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo did refer to hon. Members of this House as thieves. On that day I do recall hon. Jamleck Kamau rising to ask hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to withdraw and apologize to Members of this House. The hon. Member did contend that he did not refer to hon. Members of this House as thieves. You did direct hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to withdraw and apologize to Members and he refused to do so. You did direct that this would be confirmed from the HANSARD; I can confirm that I have a copy of the HANSARD proceedings of that day. On page 26 of the HANSARD, hon. Jakoyo Midiwo did, in fact, refer to Members of this honourable House as thieves; he actually said: “The Judiciary may have been reformed but the occupants of those offices are the same; they are as bad as you,” referring to Members of this House. “They think like you; they are thieves like you; that is who they are and that is who you are”."
