    "content": "adequate substantiation; (e) otherwise abuses his or her privileges; (f) deliberately gives false information to the House; (g) votes more than once in breach of these Standing Orders; (h) commits any serious breach of these Standing Orders; or (i) acts in any other way to the serious detriment of the dignity or orderly procedure of the House.” I am convinced that the hon. Members I have mentioned on 18th December, 2014 met much of that criterion of gross disorderly conduct. On that day, my good friend, hon. Ng’ongo, a man I respect - he is my senior from the university and senior professional colleague who is the chairman of one of the biggest parties in this country called ODM, crossed the Floor, grabbed the Order Paper from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, hon. Abongotum, and what followed was total disorder. All the Order Papers were scattered all over the House because of that action. He is a senior Member of this House. I can excuse the other hon. Members who are first-timers, but a Member who is sitting here for the second time, a serious accountant in this country, crossed the Floor and caused the Order Papers to be torn all over this House. It was very shameful. That is why I propose and suggest that if there are any more punitive measures, I would have proposed them so that we maintain the dignity of this House. That day, we reduced this House to levels we have never seen in this country. I think we have even spread this matter internationally. Subsequently, I saw two other countries - South Africa and another one - did the same. We should not be spreading bad manners. We should only spread good manners in this country.
