    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge the Committee to relook into Articles 94, 95 and 96. These articles need to be relooked at. The Committee should also try and explore more on how this Constitution can tame the National Assembly which of late has undermined the role and mandate given to this Senate. Recently, they went further and blackmailed the President of the Republic of Kenya. I humbly request the President and his deputy to support this Senate in relooking into the constitutional review because of late, they have become victims of the National Assembly. The National Assembly is trying to blackmail the three institutions; the Senate, the Presidency and the Judiciary which also recently had funds allocated to it, deducted. As we also look into ways of making this Senate more powerful, we need to extend our hand and see if we can tame the National Assembly which has become a notorious House and needs to be controlled by all means. We cannot be moving towards that direction. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
