"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this has been occasioned by something we are all aware of, that our recess has been interrupted and yet, recess is a very important period. There is work that goes on beyond the work that we do, either in committees or in the plenary, here in the House. Most of the time, committees take the recess period to expedite on work that is long standing before them, like Petitions and Bills. Members also get time to interact with their constituents. The work of a Senator is not an easy job. It involves a lot of twists and turns. Being the only elected position in the Republic of Kenya that does not have specific funds set aside to carry out any development, this job of a Senator can be quite a task, especially with the mind of the average Kenyan voter who associates the work of an elected leader with physical, tangible projects. Therefore, in the absence of a Senator being present and carrying out their oversight responsibilities, many of them would otherwise be thrown out at the next election or easily be rendered politically irrelevant."

It is on account of that I specifically left out the position of a Women Representative because that is an affirmative action position. Therefore, that one presents its own unique challenges. However, a position that is open for contest for all citizens such as that of the Senate, by its architecture and design, I hope The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services, Senate."
