    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, my boss here is the Chair. Is Sen. Malalah in order to insinuate that the Speaker of the Senate is dealing with negative or illicit things when he was part and parcel of the people who voted for the Speaker of the Senate? Is he insinuating that the boss he is referring to is any other leader in this country or President Uhuru Kenyatta who is also my boss? Is it in order? Having said that, I would like to tell Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri that overtime, every language grows from its original definition to another meaning. Every English word grows with time. If you see the current definition of a hustler - I will read for you from the Thesaurus dictionary – “a hustler means a person who moves or acts energetically and rapidly. It also means to push or force one’s way. It also means to act aggressively, especially in business. It also means to cause or urge to proceed quickly or a hurry”. Madam Temporary Speaker, it also includes other dictionary definitions like prostitutes, people who steal and so forth. It is up to you to choose what you want. I would draw the attention to Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, who was a lecturer at the university in the past and a renown professor to a book written by a South African - I will get the name of the author, who published the book this year, - titled “ The Hustler and the Dealings ofBusiness in Johannesburg ”. The book talks about how people have moved their way up from down and how you can sell a business aggressively. There are so many other books that have been published overtime. You ascribe a meaning to a word depending on what you exactly want to mean as a person. Let us not make the generalized accusation that if a word has more than one meaning, it can only mean that which you want to say."
