    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For avoidance of doubt, I am not persuaded, as the Senator of Elgeyo-Marakwet County, that I can sit in the Senate of the Republic of Kenya and make decisions that the Judiciary does not take seriously. The reason the Standing Orders put in place the rule of sub judice is because they knew that when Sen. Murkomen sits in the Senate and makes a certain decision, whatever he has said can be extracted from the HANSARD and can be used in court. Whatever he has said can be reported by newspapers and influence the court. In fact, I am almost convinced that part of the proceedings here – if you look at the pleadings that have been tabled by the Majority Leader – I asked them to say this because Sen. Orengo was here saying that Kindiki did not provide evidence. Every Senator who spoke here in opposition to this Motion was objecting in the first instance as of his own and in the other to support another person. Therefore, we cannot be told that since Kindiki did not make the case, Murkomen cannot make that case---"
