    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the adjournment Motion. I really yearn for the day when Parliament will live up to its billing. The name Parliament comes from the Latin saying of parlance, which means to speak. When we are in Parliament and we are told to speak for two minutes or four minutes, yet we are here to speak and we have moved an adjournment Motion until we finish all the business. It goes against the reason. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when you and I were in the National Assembly, we used to admire the Senate because of the quality of debates because Senators would speak. In the National Assembly, it was almost like a high school where you are given two minutes and you cannot even pass a point. Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri has years of experience. I want to hear Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri speak for 10 minutes. The late Martin Shikuku used to speak for three hours. I have spent a minute speaking that. In this session, we have lost Kenyans to COVID-19. However, I would like to ask that we acknowledge frontline health workers who have been at the forefront of fighting COVID-19. They have been doing an amazing job. May souls of those who lost their lives during this fight against COVID-19 rest in peace. A few of our colleagues in the National Assembly have lost their lives and may their souls rest in peace. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
