    "content": "I desire a Senate whereby we can be able to meet in terms of different opinions and share them in a way that builds a nation. However, if it becomes a theatre of opposition versus Government all the time, then there is nowhere the country is going. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish the Majority Whip the courage, on behalf of the Senate Business Committee, to actually just be bold. If not scrap off the entire conversation, then just limit it to comments of two minutes. For instance, the Majority Leader can say I was there, I saw the President, it was very nice and I have missed the President. Let them give just simple comments on this matter and not make it a debate at all. Debates are things that are supposed to input and change some conversations. Therefore, I support, but wish you the courage to change it, not to 15 minutes or three days. Those three days will be very important for this House to do a lot of work, in passing the amazing Bills that my sister, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, has brought in this House on agriculture and the amazing Bills that my sister, Sen. Veronica Maina, is bringing to this House. Additionally, Sen. Mungatana brings very wonderful Bills here to be passed. We will make a big impact by passing those Bills than discussing the President’s address here that does not go anywhere or bring any input; a speech that makes you feel self-righteous and does not make any correlation to the President. It does not change his mind or the mind of the Cabinet. Let us not debate it. Therefore, I will support with amendments, if possible, to limit it to two minutes and one day. I thank you."
