    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will not belabor much on this particular Motion because as the Senate Majority Leader, the very able leader Sen. Cheruiyot has indicated, we get energy as a people in this House from the people we represent. When we were starting the sitting in the morning, I listened to what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said, that he really missed the House. I was listening and waiting for him to tell us where he was. Unfortunately, the Senator was not in his home county or village in Kakamega. Apparently, he was on some assignments and duties that are still related to this House. I can assure you that if that was not the case, the Senator could not have said that he saw some huge planes in some airport. This could not have been somewhere in Kakamega. Therefore, the Senator definitely needs to go back to Kakamega and be able to get some insights from the people of Kakamega as well as be able to engage in some bullfighting activities. I am seeing he is losing the stamina and he needs to go and recharge. I also recognise that even though we were trying to extend our time to around the 12th, next week will still just be just as heavy as normal working days because we have the Climate Change Summit that is coming to the country. I know that it is a very well- aligned event both formally and informally, that fellow Senators and Members of Parliament will be engaged in. As such, it will be so difficult to come from that heavy Summit and come here and still have the same level of energy and rigor to contribute in the House. I encourage my brother, Sen. Cherarkey, to make sure that he supports this Motion. I know that he was not very well aware that the forum that we are having on climate change next week, will affect some of the Senators very squarely. Therefore, he needs to actually participate so well in that Summit knowing very well that after that, you The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
