    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues to wish you and the entire House a happy new year. Indeed, I hope it is going to be a happy new year. I hope many of our colleagues will be back in this House before the year closes. On the point of order raised by Sen. Murkomen, he is probably not just seeking your assurance to the House, but the assurance of this House to the nation, that we are going to rise to the occasion and live to the expectations and that we will surely be the “Upper House.” History is there. It shows that whenever there is a crisis in this nation, this House has always risen to the occasion. In the previous Parliament, around the same time, we were debating the Elections (Amendment) Bill. You will recall that there was a lot of acrimony that accompanied the consideration of that Bill in the other House and outside there. At that time, I recall it was Sen. Orengo and the now Governor of Meru County, Hon. Kiraitu Murungi, who led a bipartisan team that included Sen. Murkomen and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. This House has risen to the occasion in the past. There is no reason it should not do so this time around."
