"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a House, let us reflect on our mandate. Let us also look at the history of other Senate Houses all over the world. You have to fight for your space. When the Senate of the United States of America (USA) was put in place, they never used to consider taxation laws. However, they fought and got that space with time. The same with the Senate in Australia. We are a unique House because we enjoy direct mandate from the people. Sen. Cherarkey was directly elected by the people of Nandi County. It is not like the House of Lords in the United Kingdom (UK) where you get an appointment out of the recognition of the contribution you have made to your country. We have been elected by the people. How then can we be sitting here as a House that prides itself as being the “Upper” House without seizing an opportunity like the one"
