    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Majority Leader. Just a moment. There is a bit of interest but resume your seat Senator for Garissa. Hon. Senators, as I said at the beginning, we have political issues which we do daily. We have a lot of opportunity to do it outside this Chamber mostly and then we have very serious legislative work like what we are discussing. So, before I allow further interventions which I would also request us to be moderated as far as possible, I would like to point out two things. One is that the Leader of Majority has made a serious claim which should not be left either like that or without clarification. That is whether or not as we speak and as per procedure and law, we have a Leader of Minority presently. That is an issue I would want, not specifically because of this order, but going forward we would want to make that clarity. Therefore, we would want to perhaps look at the record and pronounce ourselves tomorrow. That is an issue of procedure. You cannot appropriate powers you do not have. You cannot purport to be a whip or something else which you are not. That is why I said it is a very serious thing because if what the Majority Leader is saying is not true, then you owe Sen. Wetangula and his fraternity a big apology but if also it is true, likewise I will not hesitate to reprimand Sen. Wetangula for appropriating what he does not have yet. Instead of having the patience to wait if at all it will happen; when it happens you will enjoy it. It is a double edged sword. As you can see I am now in a different format. I am no longer the Leader of Majority. So, I will be fair but very firm."
