    "content": "debate and engage with colleagues. What they watched us engage in is a reaction to Statements. What Parliament does is to legislate, represent and oversight. The debates that were happening here are part of our oversight work, to see the things that the Government does, whether they are done per the law. If they are in breach of the law, we order people to go where people who do such things need to go. Finally, I also welcome the members of staff from the various county assemblies. The Senate is a mother institution of our county assemblies. In fact, our Clerk is a patron of the organisation of clerks of all the county assemblies. I keep reminding ourselves that we must return to the days of the Legislative Summit, where we used to interact as the Senate and the county assemblies, so that we can engage and exchange knowledge on how to run the oversight function as a devolution family. I hope these staff have interacted with the extremely competent staff of the Senate and get to learn and leave Nairobi better than they were when they arrived at this institution. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
