    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, the orders that we are seeking you to make are not strange and it will not be the first time. On that fateful day, from the very seat that you are sitting on this afternoon, the then Speaker ordered that there shall be no transaction of any parliamentary business until the police officers who had cordoned off Parliament were asked to move out. Business came to a standstill until they moved away. Therefore, we are pleading with you to protect this institution by telling the Inspector General (IG) --- I suspect that this letter may be an act of forgery, because there is no properly educated IG who knows his responsibilities that can draft such a letter. This is someone that we vetted in this House; telling us to now be on the lookout for people that we know have gone out of their way to intimidate officers of this House. Therefore, we humbly plead with you that for the sake of this institution, please, give proper direction on what will happen on this extremely grave issue. In conclusion, I know that you have warned us, in accordance to Standing Order 96, but the truth of matter, as Sen. Wetangula spoke to it earlier, is that when officers of Parliament went to Murang’a County to present the summons from this House, they were chased away and threatened by this very Governor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, stand and make this Senate proud this afternoon."
