    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I said I want to try and assist on this issue. It is true that Sen. Sonko wrote to the Speaker requesting to step aside. However, the big question is; did he step aside as the Deputy Chief Whip of the Majority or did he step aside as the Senator for Nairobi County? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have seen Ministers stepping aside to allow investigations but they do not step aside as Members of Parliament (MPs). My understanding is that Sen. Sonko vacated the office that could stop investigations from taking place. That is the position. Sen. Sonko remains the Senator for Nairobi County. It is only the voters that can make him step aside. That is what I wanted to help the House know about."
