"content": "Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is right. They know we cannot do anything. This started the day we were supposed to censure a CS, but we walked out of this Chamber. We left because it was politically-correct at that time. Now, it is affecting the people who elected us. Some of the CSs think that by becoming bigheaded, they are going to be elected governors. Some even want to be become president, but of which country? It is unfortunate that the persons who are supposed to check the Government are grieving with the people in Government. The public is confused with the Members of the Senate. When police officers barricaded Parliament Road when we were discussing a contentious matter here, we adjourned and the Speaker ordered them to leave and they left. When the Speaker orders CSs to come here, they do not. It is possible that some of them even call the Office. A very senior officer called to ask why I raised questions on the appointment of judges. That is unfortunate, but we must accept the blame. If Sen. Murkomen took the fight in 2015 where we had drafted a law to change some of the framework in the Constitution, we would have made some progress. However, politics has changed and everybody is not talking about the right thing because we are talking about our political sides. I have been in this Senate when CSs have said they are busy. I have been in this Senate when CSs have sent their Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs). I have been in this Senate when CSs do not issue responses. I have not seen where they do not send anybody. In fact, this was the worst."
