    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that Sen. Kang’ata has agreed to be informed and even accepted my plea for truncation. The first thing I would like to inform the House and Sen. Kang’ata is that when he says that the party lacks confidence, the party in this House is represented by Senators who are in the Jubilee Party. Hon. Raphael Tuju or anybody else out there, is not voting in this House. When he says the party, he is rightly in order to say that the Members here do not have that confidence. Secondly, because you said that this is the first removal of a Deputy Speaker and there is no precedent, but we have comparative jurisdictions which have done the same. On 17th April, 2017, Hon. Chrispine Blunt, in the House of Commons had a Motion to remove my friend, the former Speaker of the House of Commons, Hon. John Bercow. That Motion had no reason. He just said “impartiality” and did not even go into depth. That is why I am telling Sen. Kang’ata, the more he talks, the more he is giving Sen. Murkomen ideas to talk about. Let us finish and go ahead with it. That precedent is there. We follow the Commonwealth tradition. That really must be how we move along with this. The party is represented in this House by 39 Senators from the Jubilee Party. The minority party is represented by a number of Senators. We are not talking about a party elsewhere. I hold and still urge Sen. Kang’ata to finish as quickly as possible."
