    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the onset, I want to congratulate the team led by Senior Counsel, Sen. James Orengo, Sen. Okong’o Omogeni and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, Jnr., for the job well done. I also want to congratulate your office for facilitating Dr. Okello, Ms. Mercy Thanji and other officials who assisted us in ensuring that the process was smooth. In two or three occasions, when I was the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs, I had the opportunity to accompany Sen. Orengo and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to Milimani Law Courts and I can attest that they worked hard and were really committed to this. I want to say that this is embarrassing to the President and just as my colleagues have said, I hope that in future, we need to have a concurrence certificate. In some jurisdictions, a situation where 24 legislations are nullified by the High Court as a result of non-concurrence, is an impeachable ground. It is so disappointing. As we go to consider the BBI Report among other issues on the role of the Senate, we have to stand and walk together to ensure that the Senate is placed in its rightful position. I hope that our colleagues will stand with this Report so that we can achieve a lot as we work together."
