    "content": "No! That will not be right. I expect you to be a little bit… Since it is you Hon. Wamunyinyi… I would expect it from somebody else, not you. I know you are a senior Member. I said I am calling for the HANSARD. If you did not make any allegations, you will have an opportunity again to canvass your position, but if you made the allegations, we will have to dispense first the issue that you have indicated. It is straightforward. I know, for example, that you are speaking seriously for your constituents, which is right. It is the perfect right of every Member here. You have been heard. I am sure the Members for Nzoia and those ones who supply sugar to Nzoia have heard you. Of course, Hon. Lomenen and Hon. Nakuleu have been heard by their constituents that they were not in the House. We do not need to go to all those details. Hon. Members, let us be fair. Let us follow our Standing Orders. Let us proceed in a good manner. Let us not unnecessarily get excited about this. This is a matter that was canvassed and transacted on that particular day. It was voted one way or the other. The substantive Speaker commented on this. He said that he will make sure that this thing is investigated. He has even instructed that other agencies can participate in this inquiry. Remember, in the last Parliament, you were given an opportunity to create a committee on standards similar to the one in the House of Commons in the UK, but you threw it away. Now, how do you expect the Speaker, seated here, to start accepting that so-and-so picked this and that? I will give a few Members an opportunity to speak. The rest of it can be done another day. You will have an opportunity, Hon. Wamunyinyi. I can see you are nodding. Please, let us not throw allegations, left, right and centre. Whoever has details should come up with them. We will be more than happy to act on them. We have acted before. We acted on the issue where Members were mentioning each other, left, right and centre. I am talking about Hon. Ababu’s The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
