    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, time and again, when we meet in this House, you have clarified that all of us are learning; whether we are old or new Members. I think when a statement is sought by a Member of this House, addressed to the Chair, it is important we realize that the Statement or Motion belongs to the House. It would be unfortunate if Members on the opposite side would want to come to the defence of an individual, be it of the Deputy President or anybody else. As a matter of procedure, probably, you need to guide us. We need to protect the interest of Kenyans; whether it is in terms of the taxes we collect or even other interests. I am not in defence of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. However, it is important for us to realise that if certain things will not pay dividends to this country, we need to stop them. So, can you guide us so that we deliberate on other matters? We will interrogate this Statement when the Chair of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations comes to explain. I think you should give us some direction. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
