    "content": " Member for Makueni, that is very good in terms of honesty. We want Members who are that honest. However, it is not just because the substantive Speaker ruled that you do not have a right to speak. The ruling, it seems to me, now that I have consulted with the Clerk-at-the-Table and the HANSARD, it was considered arising out of Standing Order No.32. Members, you may want to appraise yourselves with this: That out of Standing Order No.32 you had a right to speak on the following day for five minutes when the debate resumed. Record shows that on 24th July, 2014 there was that kind of right. You were called to speak, but you did not avail yourself. We then went on the quorum issue. Today was the next day when you had the next available time. You were, again, not present and hon. Limo spoke. When you look at Standing Order No.32, the last phrase, it states: “…but if such Member does not avail himself or herself of this right, his or her speech shall be deemed to have been concluded.” The way you avail yourself is to be in the House as early as possible so that the presiding Speaker may recognize you and then you will have your time. So, it was a very considered ruling in my view. Again, you have been honest about it and I think you are satisfied. I thank you for it."
