    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to concur with all those who have spoken to a large extent. Except that I want to clarify two things. One, it is not true that I had information that there is a Petition before any Committee of this House. I did not have this information by Sunday morning. If I had that information, I would be the last person to even allude to, leave alone speaking, to anything that touches on a matter that is before this House. I am an obedient and proud Member of this Senate. I respect and give this House the dignity that it is supposed to be given. Secondly, it is also not true that we went to Narok without informing our colleague. That is not the position. I tried to reach him, I could not reach him and I have evidence of trying to reach him. That is part of the discussion we were having. Finally, because I do not know which way you will rule, even in the context of Sen. Ntutu’s displeasure, at no time have I said anything that touches on merits of any matter, even if as I have said on the first point, I did not know there was a Petition live before a Committee of this House. Even with that ignorance, I did not utter anything that touched on the merits of anything. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to reiterate that I have respect for colleagues and for this House. In the circumstances and totality of that matter, I am at the mercy of the Chair."
