"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to make the record clear that none of the Senators seating on the left hand side of your seat is a litigant in any matter. You have predicated your ruling on the fact that some of these Senators are litigants. I want that record to be made clear that none of them is a litigant. Sen. Orengo is a distinguished lawyer in this country and he has the right to appear for anybody and everybody including Senators across the Floor. I would similarly appear for any Member who wishes to be acted for by me as a lawyer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, my worst fears came to pass that the deliberate prolongation of the point of order raised by the distinguished Senator for Tharaka Nithi was, in fact, a conspiratorial process to make it difficult for this Motion to be debated in this House. The country is watching, the country is listening. You may have your way today but you will not always have your way. The country is bleeding because of erroneous legislations going on. How can this Senate say that we cannot look at this matter when the same Bill and now an Act of Parliament that we are challenging is, in fact, removing authority from your House which you preside over - on of oversight to the security organs and taking them to a House where there is hardly any order? I find this a narrow minded partisan attitude that does not help this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can frown and do whatever you want but I am telling you that you have heard us and you must live with the guilt that you will carry from here on forth."
