    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to comply with your directive yesterday that I substantiate the remarks I made on the Floor; that hon. Babu Owino was arrested on account of alleged insults directed at the President of the Republic of Kenya. All material facts on the remarks made by hon. Babu Owino on 24th September, 2017; the subsequent mass protests and demands for his arrests in Githurai, Juja, Thika, Githunguri, Ruiru, Gatundu, and Kiambu towns, and the consequent arrest of the Member of Parliament on 25th September, 2017 are all matters in the public domain. I sought a statement regarding the insults directed at the Kamba community and its leadership in good faith, to seek justice and restoration of dignity for the community. Dwelling on the circumstances under which hon. Babu Owino was arrested and charged would only dilute the import of the matter for which I sought the statement. In regard to this, I wish to withdraw all references that I made on hon. Babu Owino and the President of the Republic of Kenya. If those statements created bad blood between me and hon. Senators who complained, I apologize."
