    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am pretty surprised by the path that Sen. Oketch Gicheru has taken because I also take him to nice places, especially in the evenings. So, do not take it personally if I ask that you show me where you usually go in the afternoon. I want to conclude that this Calendar is extremely tight because of the slow pace at which business moves. If we can commit, I wanted to suggest to the Majority Leader that we should designate special days for putting the questions and divisions, so that it is mandatory for people to attend. That way, all our Bills move. I can see that many of the Bills on the Order Paper are Members' Bills. We have already been in this House for two years. At this particular time, you must demonstrate the legislative work you have done. So, when we say these things, it is not to impute negativity on our colleagues. We know that the Senator's life is a harrowing job. I understand that. I am sensitive to those who travel long distances to Nairobi for House business. However, at the end of the day, being in the House benefits all of us. I have a different perspective on a few things from what the Majority Leader said. I had the opportunity to sit with a few members of the diaspora. Diaspora remittances are higher than any other industry in this country because we are not creating jobs here. The Kenya Kwanza Government has acknowledged that by trying to put certain things in place. 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."
