"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me thank you for your protection. If my thoughts would be kind to me, what I was prosecuting here is the importance of the National Assembly accepting the role of the Senate. It is imperative that the definition of Parliament be entrenched in every member of this country because outside there when people talk about Parliament, they are referring to the National Assembly. However, Parliament is made up of the two Houses. The issue of national debt is a matter that affects counties. It does not matter how you look at it. The issue of exceptional circumstances in an event like this COVID is a matter that affects every member of this country. So, I support this Motion because for once, as a Senator, I will stand here and can authoritatively say, that Kenya owes this country ‘x’ amount of money. Article 211 of the Constitution is very clear. I thank the Mediation Committee, particularly the Committee on Finance and Budget, Governor- Senator- Party Leader- Pilot - Sen. Roba, has done a tremendous job. We have to give credit where it is due."
