    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As much as I am loyal to the Leader of the Majority Party, those in leadership offices have been given a constitutional opportunity to speak quite often, while the ordinary Members have to struggle to catch the Speaker's eye. It is a rare opportunity. That is why I have been adamant that I should also say something, so that the people of Wajir North can hear their Member of Parliament. I may not speak with wisdom, but at least I pronounce myself. This is a clear, simple, and straightforward Motion but we can only legislate or argue out issues where there is ambiguity. As much as there is clarity in the law, I do not see why the two Houses are always in a tussle over their mandate. I do not know why the Senate is so desperate to interfere with the mandate of the National Assembly. They carry themselves as the upper House when they are not. There is nothing in a name. We can even call them by that name. However, they can only be the upper House in executing their role as stipulated in the Constitution.
