    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Kittony has just uttered some words and fled the Chamber. You and the Deputy Speaker are my witnesses. I have never made reference to the President on this Floor in a derogatory manner. I always say, President Uhuru or the President of Kenya, and then I proceed to criticize what he has done. I have never referred to the President, and I will never, as “the man from Gatundu”. I do not know where she got it from. Yesterday, as a matter of light moment in the House, I made reference to my friend, Sen. Wamatangi, as the man from Kiambu; and then without anybody prompting me, I withdrew it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, debate is not gloom. You may recall that in the House of Commons in the 1500 A.D. or 1600 A.D. the king of England ordered five Members of Parliament (MPs) to be arrested. Those MPs had been challenging the King anywhere and everywhere, insulting him; and then the police arrived at the House of Commons and went to the Speaker. In a very cavalier manner they went to him in the Chair and said we have been sent by the King to collect these five members of the House of Commons to take them to custody. The Speaker looked around the House and said, you want member so and so, I cannot see them. He said so yet they were there. That became the epitome of the protection of the House and its Members by the Speaker. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
