    "content": "That may include shortening debating period, and devising various mechanisms so that we do not have a backlog. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this House must also be proud of the good work that it has done, reason being, for the last seven months or so, we have been able to process a record 10 Bills. We have also processed several Motions, and very contentious Motions and Bills, including the Motion on the division of revenue sharing. Therefore, we must be proud of the work that we have done. Notwithstanding that, we must also understand that we are living in very precarious moments where COVID-19 is causing some of our staff to be affected. I also know of several Senators who have had this misfortune, and, therefore, on such an account, we may need to slow down a little bit. Various Committees will continue transacting business. About 85 per cent of our work; processing of the Motions and legislative proposals, occurs at Committee level. I want to reassure the Republic of Kenya that the work of the Senate will continue when we pass this Motion. We shall be meeting virtually, through the Committees. I am proud of the new Chairpersons who have brought a new mojo to the entire Senate Committee structure. I urge our colleagues to support this Motion because it does not mean that we are slowing down. We are just taking precaution."
