    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I be protected? I rise to strongly support this Motion. The list that has been tabled before this House is made up of distinguished Senators, who have served this House with distinction; people we know from our committees that they are worker bees and can put in more hours. We take this opportunity to thank the Majority and the Minority sides for coming up with this list. Secondly, the list is diversified. I see that almost all the regions in this country are represented. This is a good sign. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this list, but as the SBC takes its seat this afternoon, we want to remind them that we had a Midterm retreat in Naivasha. One of the things that we raised was the prioritisation of legislation from this Senate. We do not want this SBC to behave like the SBC of the previous sessions, where they kept prioritising business from the National Assembly at the expense of the Senate business, particularly legislation. We are asking the new team to make sure that they push the Bill of our Members so that we finish. We are now at midterm and there are Members here who have not been able to push for a single Bill to its conclusion. We want to urge the new team to continue with the spirit of working hard, but also to prioritise what is ours. With those few remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. Thank you."
