    "content": "is leadership in the Senate because it appears to me, there is none. I now understand why some positions should be occupied by either lawyers or if you are not a lawyer, you should have been a Member of Parliament for at least five years. I know you know whom I am talking about, but I will not mention the position because he knows himself. I cannot imagine that if I were disorderly here, you would plead with me that, I beg you, Hon. John Mbadi. You would order me out or to, definitely, not be out of order. Honestly, those who are making decisions, because some of these decisions are made elsewhere, please, get someone who can do some work and who can run an institution well. Hon. Speaker, my final comment, because if I continue, I can clearly see myself treading on dangerous grounds that you had warned us against, I just want to ask the Senate, kindly be fair to Kenyans and make sure that this formula is passed. We want it to come here. I know we have very limited powers in that formula, but let it come here so that we can discuss it. Some of us are thirsty. We want to talk on this formula. Please, do not keep it there. If you are defeated, can you own up and allow us to now deal with it because it appears that the people of Kenya gave you a job that you cannot do? But before we reach there, I hope the next sitting will not be like what I saw. As the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), Hon. Speaker, I just want to ask you, as I sit down and you may not respond to me, you can easily switch the gadgets we have here from there. I cannot give myself time to speak without your authority, but I see that happening in the other House. Does it mean you did not give them the correct gadgets? There is a lot of confusion there. Anyone can talk at any time that person feels like. I thank you."
