    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to some of the issues which have been raised by the Committee. First of all, I concur with the Committee that the Senate needs to look at Article 96 of the Constitution to understand the roles that it is supposed to undertake. If it is going to duplicate what the National Assembly does, then the best thing that Kenyans should do is ask for a referendum and merge the two Houses, so that they can sit together and handle all the functions. Once we start duplicating some of these roles and functions that are in the Constitution, we will not be doing any justice; we will just be spending public money without necessarily--- I believe that what we need to do is to request the Senate to stick to its business as the National Assembly also does its business."
