    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. when I saw this Statement on the Order Paper, I thought that Sen. Kang’ata will introduce the subject of hyper liberalism as opposed to the ultra-conservatism that is capturing the world but he has brought about issues of morality which even though I sympathise with him, but for a lawyer of the standing of Sen. Irungu Kang’ata, who is doing his PhD--- He knows that when he is unhappy with the decisions of the court, a good lawyer like him would go on to appeal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot sit here in Uasin Gishu today as a Senate to condemn the Judiciary. When the Judiciary ruled us out of order on the County Development Board, we were unhappy but when they allowed us to be part of the Division of Revenue, we were celebrating them. We cannot build and form a habit of condemning the Judiciary when we are aggrieved over certain rulings which, if it is true they ruled in that manner, it is unconstitutional. The Constitution does not allow same sex marriage but we cannot take this opportunity to lecture the Judiciary and legislate on morality. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could you declare Sen. Irungu Kang’ata out of order so that he goes back to his honey moon?"
