    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to comment on two statements. The first one is by Sen. Cherarkey. After elections, normally, Senators, Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and Members of the National Assembly go through induction. It appears our governors also require to be inducted by the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), so that they get to know that when they are invited to the Senate or committees, they need to honour. It is not a favour for them to come to the Senate. Our job is to do oversight, representation and legislation. So, we need to work closely because Senators are champions of devolution. The resources they get pass through this House. We are surprised that some of them give flimsy reasons such as being away or engaged elsewhere. They need to know that when they are invited to the Senate, it should be priority number one and not other engagements. They need to work for the people and we need to follow up on what they are doing because that is our mandate. In the CPISF and even other committees, we get some funny reasons like what we got in the morning from one of the cabinet secretaries. That was the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife. She said that she went to witness putting of a device into a rhino The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
