"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, there is an important point which was raised by Sen. Obure. He asked the source of the Motion. The RBC is a Committee of this House. It sits with the leadership of the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader. Their Whips and their deputies are Members among others. This matter was canvassed and agreed upon, including the numbers and the names at the RBC before it was brought here. Therefore, to be wise after the event is an assault on the integrity to this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, Standing Order No.212 is distinct and it does not subject itself to any other Standing Order. If it intended to make reference to Standing Order No.178 or any other, it would have started by the words “subject to Standing Order---” Within the context of the interpretation of the law - the Senate Majority Leader has been a teacher of law and he knows it - a section that comes later has the power of overriding a section preceding it if they are making reference to the same issue. However, that is not the point I am pursuing. Madam Temporary Speaker, protect me from the symptoms of heckling from Sen. Wamatangi so that I become comfortable in my submissions. Standing Order No.212 is clear."
