    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a Procedural Motion, and I support the Majority Leader in this Procedural Motion on the review of our Calendar. I agree and share the frustrations. The Minority Leader and Majority Leader are here. Is there a possibility of developing a system within the caucuses of both minority and majority to alert members? Looking at the Order Paper, 90 per cent of the people who own Bills are not in the House. This means that if those people are not here, we cannot proceed. This means that the House will adjourn prematurely, and we know the effect of prematurity. Secondly, Sen. Faki raised an issue of resources within the running of Committees. You know that the Senate has a pending Bill of Kshs450 million. You sit in the Liaison Committee. You are aware that because of budget constraints, every Committee will get Kshs7 million for domestic travel. How will our facilitation to Busia be? The Senate seems to be struggling with facilitation and finances. We applaud Senate Mashinani because we want to understand the people; we are a by-product or the product of devolution. When we go to Busia, people should understand the Senate's workings, functionality, and ability through Senate Mashinani . We must be told whether we are well-resourced enough to afford a sitting. 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."
