    "content": "Finally, I do not see how you can serve in this House and not have a say on such an important Bill. For one reason or the other, many may not have known the importance of this Bill. They should take the time to write to the Justice, Legal Affairs, and Human Rights Committee and inform their views on this Bill and how it needs to move. Eventually, when we convene to do the Committee of the Whole, there will be good logic in how we view things. I said this the other day when I was moving this Bill; it is not for lack of jurisdiction that the Supreme Court has urged us more than two or three times we sit as a House and give them a Bill and a guide to consider the legislation. They have granted us that opportunity, appearing as if they are not willing to give us a decision on the matters that are before them. If we do not do this, we will pass on our responsibility. We can sit down and agree on something to be determined by other people. Therefore, as a good student of history, I do not want us to waste this golden opportunity. I want us to use it for the betterment of this House. So that those who will serve in this House in the years to come will thank the Fourth Senate for finally restoring the dignity of this House to where it ought to have been. I want to see something greater than what our Constitution drafters saw in Naivasha when they drafted the Senate, which is as it is. With those many remarks, I beg to reply and thank all the Members who have taken the time to speak to this. Thank you. Pursuant to Standing Order No.66(3). I request that the putting of the question be deferred to another day."
