    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is an honour to second this Motion. I think it is in order given that in the wisdom of the leadership of the House, there are some assessments that have been done with regard to probably resource constraints that definitely, we need to look into. It is true that even now, the Senate operations money has not come to the Senators. Actually, we are struggling to keep our operations going because of some challenges with the exchequer releases. It is indeed true that some adjustments need to be made. However, even as we hope for these adjustments, apart from just taking the proceedings of the Senate to the grassroots level, my senior, the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, it is also important to say that this is an opportunity to go and learn of opportunities that exist in the grassroots to inform this Senate in terms of the policies that need to be advancing. For instance, I have had an elaborate conversation around this issue of job creation. Sometimes, when you go to these grassroots communities and genuinely engage yourself in the economic ecosystem in those regions, you will identify areas that should inform our policy framework and the kind of legislation we need to pass in this House that can interact with issues of job creation. 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."
