On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Standing Orders are very clear. You have warned us in this House all the time, that when you are discussing an honourable Member, whether in this House or the “Lower House”, the Standing Orders apply. If the Hon.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I seek further clarification. Considering that Article 27 is very important in our Constitution, has the Government considered creating very special areas around Parliament, or the Executive or around the Legislature, where Kenyans can have a right to come and demonstrate? If you go to the White House, Washington DC, there is a specific area where there is a particular demonstrator whom we were told has been there for five years, sitting and opposing the war in Iraq and other wars that the United States of America (USA) is involved in.

We, in Kenya, have had the smooth departure of President ...
