    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Parliament has survived by a whisker. It would have been disbanded had the President taken up the advice of the former Chief Justice. We have to speak to these matters critically so that in future, Parliament will not be left out. I do not understand the reason why we have a joint Committee speaking about two different dates; one is talking about 1st of April and another one 6th of April 2021. They should have agreed on one date. The date that has been proposed by the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Senate, 6th April, 2021, is not far. As I was following the proceedings, I realized that the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) presented some serious issues, which should be listened to. Lastly, I congratulate Sen. Agnes Kavindu Muthama for making it to the Senate. I saw her campaigns which were very mature. Women, go through many challenges. In many cases, opponents bring up the issues of our family because they know that would bring down a woman. However, Sen. Kavindu Muthama displayed maturity. During the campaigns, she mentioned one thing about family that touched the hearts of many people. She showed the world that women can still be patient and respectful even when they are pushed to the wall. Sen. Kavindu Muthama is most welcome. She is making this House warm, by being the fourth woman Senator to be elected. She has shown us the way and inspired us to work hard. We saw her display of mature politics and we will follow in her footsteps. The Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights should be given sufficient time to look at the contentious issues and bring to this House what is acceptable by all."
