    "content": "other than the two other sanctions that we meted out against them, there will be a demand for an apology and a reprimand at the Bar in addition to the other punishments. If a Member refuses to apologise under paragraphs 1 and 3 he or she will be suspended for three days. After we did that, we went out looking for any Member who might have abused privilege. Let me first read the resolutions of the Committee and then come back and give the specific reasons why we meted out specific sanctions against particular Members of Parliament.

Omondi Anyanga and hon.

The House resolves that Members who fail to submit to any of the resolutions of the House in paragraphs 316 to 318 be suspended from the House for a period of four days, including the day of suspension.
