On the issue of stone-throwing and breaking a gate, I wish we respected other dialects and tribes. What you were hearing as noise were three tribes speaking very loudly, and allow me to quote a Swahili saying: “ Haki yetu; tunataka kuingia .” They then banged and slapped the gates.

When I listened to Sen. Wamatangi’s point of order, I was tempted to remember the history of this country.
