    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in congratulating the Murkomen Committee for a job well done. Let me remind us of where we began as the Senate when we were sworn into office. This is one issue that we really coalesced around and were ready to go. We only had a problem when we had cracks emanating from political standings and parties. That is how that collapse came about. Now that we have revived it, we must cement the foundation on which we began and that cannot be achieved if we think of ourselves and move as Members of our political parties. We must realize that as the first Senators under this Constitution, it will be in history if we do not cement the foundation of the Senators’ office. Most probably 20 years down the line, most of us will not be Senators. We want those who will come after us to see the job that we will have done. I also attended the meeting that was held by this Committee at the Sarova Stanley Hotel and I think we still had pending issues. So, it is definitely a good idea that has been suggested by Sen. Wako, that this Committee also takes Senators along with them. That way, all of us can own the process, even those who were not in the Committee. We will then thrash out what we need to so that when we get out with it, there will be no stopping or looking back."
