    "content": "Any sacrilege to the Mace by whatsoever is a break with convention in all legislatures around the world. The events of 18th December, 2014 have to go down as the lowest ebb this House has ever sunk to. Where our own Standing Orders require the Speaker to report any disorder in the House or the Chairperson to report any disorder within a Committee, this particular action did not take place. By the time we resumed or session went on, we saw unceremoniously our Mace being led out of this Chamber through the backdoor. This cannot be overstated. We represent the great people of the Republic of Kenya who toil every day and seek to answer the question why they cannot make their ends meet. We, as the dutifully and honourably elected Members, owe a duty to this nation to ensure that we give them hope in the enhancement of their socio-economic and political stature in this great world. In conclusion, the malice that I have alluded to within the Motion is prevalent as any attack on this House by any Member including the Speaker himself. It is affront to the attack on the democracy of this great nation. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I leave it unto this great House to state its position on my Motion."
