    "content": "However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think gradually we are degenerating. The SBC which you Chair should help us in getting back to where we were and claiming our space. I know that Members who have been selected are capable of ensuring that the Senate remains a House of reason. Members who serve in the SBC do so on behalf of their parties. They do so because the parties have decided that those are Members who can protect their interests. Those are Members who have fidelity and loyalty to the parties. There should not be any question about this. We have made changes as the minority side. I know that at some point, the Senate Minority Leader will talk about that. We have made changes because we want to have Members who will represent and protect our interests. As the minority, we have a serious agenda to achieve and this is not the time to allow irritants to stop us from implementing it effective from this session onwards. We have made changes and the Members we have chosen are up to the task. Sen. Kavindu Muthama and Sen. Sifuna will represent us effectively in the SBC and we fully support them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you cannot have your cake and eat it. You cannot announce in public that you are moving from this coalition to another then go to the Chamber and expect things to not change. Things will certainly change. I support."
