    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have heard a lot of comments from Members of this House saying that unlike other processes that are ongoing in the National Assembly, this process was better than others. I urge Members in this House to understand that in order for us to strengthen our institutions, as responsible Members, we have to also understand the process. For those who are making comments that the Committee on Finance and Budget has done way better than what is happening in the National Assembly, I do not even think a report has been tabled in terms of the vetting of the Cabinet Secretaries. As responsible leaders, let us be fair and guide Kenyans to understand the processes that are within the National Assembly and the Senate before we can stand and make sensational comments, so that we can be popular out there. A report is yet to be tabled on the vetting of the Cabinet Secretaries, the same way we have had to wait for this report from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget as leaders in this House. We have waited for the process to take place and a report to be tabled. Having read the Report as a responsible leader, I am commenting and seconding it. Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge Senators in this House that we are better. We are the ‘Upper’ House. We should understand the process and respect these institutions if we are going to trust them. If we can, let us accord the same to the Members of the National The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services, Senate."
