    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill on Parliamentary Powers and Privileges. It is overdue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been here since the last Senate. I have experienced a lot of frustrations, especially when the governors are called to appear before CPICSF and they do not come. Most of them do not give an excuse or write to say that they are busy and will not make it. This Bill will give the Senate and the Senators teeth to bite. It is very frustrating for us as lawmakers when we summon these people to appear before the Senate or the Committee and they do not appear. It is not like most of them have serious businesses that are making them not to come. They just ignore because they know even if they do not come, nothing much will be done to them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just like the others, I suggest that the fine be raised to Kshs10 million. Also, there should be a way of making sure that this money is recovered even when their term ends. I thank you. I support."
