    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the late Michael Kijana Wamalwa once said in the Nanyuki II conference that it is difficult at times to make decisions or understand arguments when people hide their cards under the table. I see that happening in this House. The Constitution and the Standing Orders are clear on matters that are being debated, especially on Standing Order 76(2). We also have a tradition which also guides the decisions of this House. What is more important is; we have a country that we should help to govern. We, as Senators, have a country before us and our decisions on matters such as these will set a precedent in tomorrow’s debate as was eloquently put by the Senate Minority Leader in his request to get a point of order. My advice is; let us set partisan issues on politics aside. Let us also set aside the feelings of the protection of the presidency or the protection of this House and our own egos. Let us make legislative decisions and let us think like so."
