    "content": " Order Members, the substantive matter before us was whether this statement needs to be made by the Chair and the operational word for him was “ongoing.” According to him, it is no longer ongoing but gone. We do not have the benefit from the Member who sought the statement. To me and that is what most Members have stated, there is a concept called public interest. Definitely, a strike by lecturers of public universities is something of immense public interest. By even describing how you ended it, you might inform the future so that you should not expect another strike to occur. So, depending on the availability of the Member, this Statement must remain on the Order Paper. The matter that arose was the matter raised by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in trying to support the position I had already taken. He then made some statements that have been challenged by Sen. Obure. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is well versed with our Standing Orders, that a Member is responsible for the accuracy of the statements. In fact, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had made all of us believe that that particular region was 100 per cent NASA. Obviously, he has been contradicted by his own Minority Leader. He has said they only got 73 per cent of the presidential vote and that agrees with what Sen. Obure was challenging. He used other considerations like Members of the National Assembly. To me, the point Sen. Obure was challenging was to say that each and every individual in a particular area in its entirety belongs to a particular political sheath. The point made by Sen. Obure in challenging that has been confirmed by the Senate Minority Leader who gave even more specific facts, that there was another percentage out of 100 minus 73. That leaves you with 27 per cent. So, you could not say which portion that donation came from. That matter is very clear. The next matter is the one of mixing the two languages and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is the man with the burden. Standing Orders are also clear. When you start with one language, you should continue with it. It is not allowed for you to mix. My direction is that first, you were not fully accurate in the assertions you made about donations of a particular source and the greater Gusii area. Secondly, you mixed the two languages. In trying to challenge you in mixing the two languages, Sen. Wamatangi also went ahead to challenge you on a language that he has already--- So, you do not need to deal with that from Sen. Wamatangi. If my first finding is that it is not acceptable, then you do not respond to it. Deal with the Standing Orders issues."
