    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I draw your attention to debate in the Senate yesterday, 26th November, 2014 on alleged threats to the life of Senator Hassan Omar. In the debate, Senators alleged that I had made threats to the said senator – a position which is far from the reality. In the debate, the Senator for Kakamega, Dr. Bonny Khalwale, sensationally claimed that, using my account, on the popular and publicly accessible social media platform; Face Book I posted the words “Rest In Peace Senator Wetangula.” As of now, there are four or five fake accounts in the said platform, created under my name by what I believe to be my political detractors to malign my character. After numerous spirited efforts to bring down such fake accounts, I gave up. My efforts have been counter-productive as every now and then, more malicious accounts have come up. My official account is very well known. It is under the user name of Hon. Moses Kuria. However, I have come to learn to live with this harsh reality and such sad state of affairs. I continuously belaboured to remind general public of the existence of such fake accounts. That one I can live with. What I cannot live with is the junior House; the Senate discussing a sitting Member of Parliament without moving a substantive Motion. I would, therefore, like to call upon this superior House to take tough action against the junior House and reprimand them for discussing a Member of Parliament without moving a substantive Motion. Thank you."
