    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. This is the best way that we can demystify the Senate, a young entity that has been around for the last 12 years. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the Senate. Taking the Senate Mashinani to the counties is one way to reach the locals, so that they can get to know exactly what the Senate does. Many times, I have been confronted by my constituents on why I am not issuing bursaries, doing roads or providing water. Some of these things are not the preserve of the Senate. This time around, once we are at Senate Mashinani, the locals will understand the role of the Senate. They will be able to demystify the whole idea that it is not an implementing House. We will spell our roles and responsibilities as a House. I hope in the future, this move is going to spread across the country because I would expect that once we are done with Turkana, the next stop will be Tharaka Nithi County, the stronghold. We are also going to see a number of things in the county because this is the only way we can easily identify ourselves and make the Senate grow and get understood."
