    "content": "Order! Hon. Keter, this is a dignified august House. When you want to seek a Ministerial Statement, you do so from a Minister. You do not take an opportunity to make disparaging remarks against your own colleagues in the House. You do not turn it into a debate. You seek it and pursue it progressively; when it is issued you say what clarification you need. The Chair was very patient with hon. Isaac Ruto and allowed him to disparage a number of Members of Parliament, one of them being hon. Mbadi and other Members of Parliament. He proceeded progressively moving in that direction. It was not fair! This is an august House. It is a dignified House. It is a legislative assembly of this country. It is a supreme organ. We need to conduct ourselves in accordance with the Standing Orders and maintain basic decorum. Not only did he do that, he proceeded on to act in a way that amounted to serious detriment to the dignity of the House and its orderly procedures. He stood up and challenged the Chair on the Floor of House when the Chair was saying “Order”. Ideally, when the Chair says “Order”, everybody should freeze. This is not a market! This is a dignified House. Then he went ahead and threw up a piece of paper. This was something that was being observed by all Kenyans. Not only that, he also insulted the Chair. The Chair does not mind that at an individual level, but this is an institution; there is need for all of us to respect this institution and its dignity."
