    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I really want to thank the Court of Appeal, the Speaker’s Office and the Clerk’s Office because, out of the 23 statues which were challenged by the Speaker, the Court of Appeal has confirmed 21of them to be constitutional. All the 23 statutes had my signature as the Leader of Majority and, in fact, the Senate challenged only the Government Bills. Hon. Speaker, for seven and a half years, I was the Leader of Majority under your leadership and the Clerk’s. We argued that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 was very explicit on the roles of a bicameral Parliament; and that, the Constitution of Kenya had given the Senate very limited mandate. This Judgment by the Court of Appeal is very clear and has placed the Senate in its place within the reading of the Constitution.
