    "content": "I am happy that Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, the Vice Chairperson of the Committee, and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale are here. These are eminent individuals who have ensured that the Bill is processed smoothly. I urge the Chairperson of the Committee to follow through the amendments proposed. Do not be blackmailed or cowed by the National Assembly. I handled the National Assembly well in the last session. Hon. Duale, the current Cabinet Secretary for Defence was the Majority Leader and he tried to intimidate some of us. We told him that the price of intimidation, fear and blackmail had fallen. We have taken these matters to court and they have pronounced that the Senate has a role in the budget making process. It is not only on conditional grants and Division of Revenue Bill, but even the budget making process. I challenge our Committee to be in the lead. When you proceed to Mediation Committee, protect the Senate at all cost. All of us will stand solidly behind you. With those many remarks – so that I allow my colleagues to comment – I support the Bill with the amendments the Committee has proposed and wish them well. I beg to support."
