    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion and to also join you to wish my colleagues a happy new year. We ended on a sad note last year when we lost our very own, the late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. We must be grateful to God that we are all in one piece after that because he has been gracious enough to give us good health as we begin the year. We know the Members that are listed here as the SBC. We know the capabilities of each of them because we have been here long enough to know them. It was funny to hear Sen. Murkomen who is not here say that he is happy that he has a few who he can rely on to checkmate on behalf of the ‘hustler nation.’ I choose to look at the Members not as hustlers or whatever, but as Members in their own right in this Senate. They are Members who can represent all of us and the business that we have. They are Members who can take fourth the mandate of the Senate on behalf of the counties and not on behalf of ‘hustler’ or no ‘hustler’. In any event, our country is made up of all of us and we must be proud of who we are. I am sure that they will take up their job as they did very well in the last session. Sen. Dullo is one of the celebrated ladies in this Senate because of being in leadership and having come here as an elected Senator, so you can imagine how much input she has. I sit with her in the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. She is a very committed Member. The same goes for Sen Sakaja, who was our Chairperson in the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. The same goes with the rest of the Members including Sen. Kwamboka who is our Whip."
