I am well guided, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator in order to say that a Member of this House protected one Rai as a common mwananchi? Could he elaborate on that issue or withdraw that statement immediately or we shall eject him out of this House? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was surprised by the manner in which the hon. Senator claimed that a Member of this House was protecting the interest of a common mwananchi called Rai. Let him substantiate his statement or withdraw.
