Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I wish to state that we are now engaged in a debate of not appreciating the times we are living in. They want to force a marriage that is already broken. (Loud consultation)

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu Mr. Speaker, Sir, clearly, the hon. Senator for Nyamira is casting serious aspersions against a distinguished Member of this House. To make it worse, he is founding it in religious faith. If he has no regard for the hon. Member, he should have regard for the Islamic faith....
