    "content": "Today, I was following Senate proceedings in the United States of America (USA). The President of USA is a worried man because the Senate is about to deny him funding for assistance to Ukraine and Israel War. The Senators from the Republican Party are ganging up against a Motion to continue with that support. The President must find a way of talking to the Senators to unlock that funding. How I wish, as the Senate of the Republic of Kenya, we get to a point of walking in the footsteps of the late Hon. Lawrence Sifuna, that the top leadership of this country would have sleepless nights thinking about what the Senators will say and do about the decisions it makes today. The Senate of the Republic of Kenya is not a lesser Senate than the Senate in the USA. We have what it takes to hold the leadership to account for the benefit of the people. Hon. Lawrence Sifuna played in the big league. He played in the same league with the late Hon. Kijana Wamalwa, the late Hon. Gorge Moseti Anyona, the late Hon. Martin Shikuku, Hon. Koigi wa Wamwere and the late Hon. Kennedy Kiliku. These are people who believed that they were leaders not because of personal benefit, but to take this country forward, even in their young age. As I said, we all go through moments. I am happy that the late Hon. Lawrence Sifuna has left behind a courageous, strong, fearless and trustworthy leader in the name and character of Sen. Edwin Sifuna. 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 and AudioServices, Senate."
