    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to echo the sentiments of my colleagues. What is bothering us is that we have a lot of business which for one reason or another is left undone. It, therefore, gives a very bad image of the Senate. I know that we can be recalled for special sittings and nothing prevents us from sitting for a week or even two weeks in a row, so long as the gazette notice specifies the days and matters to be considered. Jesus said that the laws of Moses were made to help the people and not vice versa. We made Standing Orders in good faith, but now we are caught up in a situation where we have very little to show Kenyans. Some of the Bills that are pending are very important. By considering them we will show that the Senate serves some purpose. We are always bashed and asked to justify the existence of the Senate. This matter is, therefore, worth considering by the Senate Majority Leader. I would suggest that we adjourn until 13th May, 2017 instead of 13th June, 2017 because the primaries will be over by then, so that a serious attempt is made by this House to conclude some of the pending business."
