He however said the senate will not be made to take steps to regulate social media in the country out of anger.

‘I will not intentionally denigrate any woman and I always pray that God will uplift women. Distinguished Senator Natasha, I want to apologize to you.

The interest shown on social media indicates that we have enemies. I felt I should tender a public apology to you.

I do not mean any harm. People should focus on things that will move this country forward. Social media handlers should practice with decorum.

We won’t regulate social media out of anger’ he said.
