    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the gist of my presentation was very clear, that the Senate cannot be micro-managed by certain citizens of this country. The Senate is independent. I still stick to that fact; that we are an independent House and we shall not be micro-managed by people seated in a certain corner thinking that the Senate can be manipulated. Lastly, I want to ask Hon. Members of this House to support the proposals made in this Motion. This is because if you look at the Membership of this Committee, I think we have hon. Members who are competent enough to interrogate this matter in a fair manner. I do not know why some of the Members here think that going the Committee way is not going to be fair. I think the fairest way is the Committee way because we shall have enough time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the Membership, we have considered regional balance. We have Sen. Mugo from Nairobi, Sen. Loitiptip from Coast, Sen. (Dr.) Mbito from North Rift, Sen. Mpaayei from the Lower Rift, Sen. Malalah from Western, Sen. Madzayo from Coast, Sen. Pareno from Maasai land and the whole country. The face of Kenya has been reflected in this Committee. We have Sen. M. Kajwang’ from Nyanza. This is the best platform to ensure that this matter is adjudicated in a fair manner, and we shall be setting good precedent for this House."
