    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.103 is very clear:- “No Senator shall bring a firearm or any offensive weapon into the Chamber.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can take cognizance of what you have seen in other jurisdictions; fist fights in the Italian Parliament, Korean Parliament and, of late, in the Somali Parliament. We have also witnessed fights in some of our county assemblies, for example, Machakos County Assembly, where we saw chairs flying in all directions. In his own words, the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet has said that the offensive weapon he is using as a walking stick was given to him by the people in West Pokot County. It is not a medical prescription as alleged by the distinguished Senator for Migori. The rules require that he leaves the weapon at the door with the Sergeant-at- Arms. He can limp with the help of the chairs until he gets to where he wants to sit and then, at the end of the day, he can pick it up and go home. 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."
