The distinguished Senator for Machakos did not make a categorical statement as Sen. Orengo has put it. He said; “I hear and I am asking the President to tell us if he is connected with Mr. Rai.” Those who are purporting to defend the President are doing it the wrong way. The President himself has said he is ready to be subjected to public audit. The distinguished Senators who stood up to challenge Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka are demanding a withdrawal and apology without challenging him to substantiate. Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka has said that he will bring substantiation in the next sitting as required by the Standing Orders. I urge this House that if we go the direction that we appear to be going, it is a sad day for this country. Lastly, it is unfair for the distinguished Senator for Garissa, whom I have tremendous respect for, to question the credibility of Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka’s professional standing as a lawyer. We lawyers know him as very distinguished and respected lawyer. 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."}
