    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I want to second the Procedural Motion on limitation of time. Let me hasten to say that there is a reason we would have limitation of time on debates on Motions, Bills and every matter that comes to the Floor of this House. I think this comes from a tradition before this principle of limitation was introduced, where Members would speak on one issue for three hours. At times their intentions were not pure. However, now that we have limitations, it guides and makes us be able to efficiently use the time of the Senate. Therefore, I support. As you know, the Majority Leader is a ranking Member in this House and does a lot of good things in this House apart from just bringing the business of the Government to the Floor of the Senate. We looked at the names of those brilliant students that have been nominated for internship in Parliament and noted that this time round there is a serious observation of gender issues. Knowing Sen. Cheruiyot and his passion for gender issues, he must have had a hand in making sure that we have more ladies than men in this internship. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second and congratulate the outgoing Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) representative of the Senate for doing a good job in this selection. I thank you."
