    "content": "Standing Order No.93 speaks on Declaration of Interest whereas Standing Order No.184 indicates, amongst other things, that the Chairperson shall be the Spokesperson of a Committee. Take your time, familiarize yourselves with those Standing Orders because I know you are all very literate and men and women of letters and you know what I am talking about. In the meantime, I direct that the Committee does not issue an apology until the matter is discussed by the Committee. Neither did I hear the Chairperson saying that he was to do so unilaterally. He only pointed out the process and the intention. I am extremely sympathetic to that view. We should not be the type of leadership that cannot say we are sorry if we are sorry. But we should not also say we are sorry if we are not sorry. That is the position as things stand now. However, I know all of us agree, without apportioning blame, there is a certain conduct that is not expected of the Senators of the Republic of Kenya. It is only yesterday that the retiring Chief Justice told us as much. Most of you, in your contribution, will agree to it. Chairperson of the Committee, I am an interested party and I want to get to know what actually transpired. A report has been compiled for my attention. I will follow it up. It is a matter that might attract the attention of the Powers and Privileges Committee, in our case the Rules and Business Committee. This is a matter that will not end at the Committee level. You can take that assurance wherever you wish to take it. Let us leave that at matter this point."
