    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I was simply saying is that this Motion does not meet the threshold of principles of natural justice. Despite the fact that they are levelling accusations against Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, which is shocking to this country that Sen. Kang’ata can challenge your rulings. It does demean whoever sits in that seat. Even members of the Speaker’s panel who sit down and make rulings, the rulings are sanctified and serious. It has been exposed to the country that there is a specific way of ensuring that they persecute individuals based on political affiliation or inclination for expediency. If this House makes the decision either to retain or remove Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, it will determine the future of this House as the Senate and Parliament. If today Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is being prosecuted and removed as the Deputy Speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya and we remove him, then we lack moral, legal and legislative roles we have had as a House. It is disappointing that I Chair the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee courtesy of the Majority side which is not a privilege but a right. Why should it appear like Members who occupy leadership positions do so as a privilege or prerogative of the party? It is not. That is why we will not allow impunity and worship of the demi-gods within the party."
