    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion that the Senate of the Republic of Kenya should adjourn. In fact, I am short of saying that this House and Government should be dissolved because we have failed and we are cowards. Let us not lie that we are not cowards. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is leading this country right now are citizens' assemblies. Recently, there was a citizens' assembly through the space of Twitter X. It brought about over 1.2 million people to listen. This country is going through a crisis that is unheard of. It is a fire that has been lit up by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). We know very well that the IMF does not put out fires in countries, it lights them. The only thing that makes sense today is for us to be with our citizens and demystify what is happening in this country. My colleague, Sen. Omogeni, has spoken here and pointed out the lack of respect to the rule of law by this Parliament. The National Assembly is part of this House. However, the National Assembly is amending three pieces of legislation that are supposed to be considered by both Houses and nobody gives a hoot in hell about the consequences. This House sat and amended the Housing Act; by then, it was the Housing Bill. It had made sure that the houses that are being built for the poor cannot be sold. Now, through a miscellaneous amendment in the Finance Bill, the National Assembly comes in and removes that because they do not care. Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of us are being bashed outside there. Personally, I am being bashed because of miscommunication. There was a Conflict of Interest Bill, which 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."
