    "content": "Hon. Members, you may recall that on Wednesday, 8th July 2015 during the morning sitting, the Member for Ugunja, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, stood on a point of order and sought the guidance of the Speaker regarding an incident that occurred on Tuesday, 7th July 2015 during Question Time session of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. On that day, Members will recall that the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning appeared before the said Committee to answer questions, including one whose notice had been given by Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, in line with our amended Standing Orders. It was claimed that during the particular sitting the proceedings of the Committee became disorderly, with some Members shouting down their colleagues and being generally disruptive in contravention of the provisions of Standing Order No.107. It was also claimed that the conduct of some Members, part of whom used unparliamentarily language against their colleagues and witnesses, but whose names were not properly brought to the attention of the Speaker, may have amounted to abuse of the privilege of the House. The Member also sought to know whether the Question should be revisited due to the improper manner in which it was canvassed before the said Committee, and the fact that the rightful Committee for referral of the said Question ought to have been the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare.
