"content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to go on record that since I came here; I have literally wondered what the role of the Senate is. I have had the opportunity to read the Constitution and my understanding is very clear. They are supposed to participate in law-making, strictly in matters relating to counties. Where they got the audacity to believe they can deal with all matters in this country is something that has always baffled me for as long as I have been here. In many occasions when we have had meetings with them, they have always ended acrimoniously. I remember we went for mediation in the Land and Physical Planning Bill and the one on value rating and it was such a show that ashamed me to the level of misunderstanding the role and context of what the Senate needs to do."
