    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to support this Report. I support this Report and congratulate you as the Chairman of the Committee and all the Committees for putting a lot of effort in this Report, as detailed as it is which does not surprise me because you are a very thorough person. I happened to have worked under you; a privilege I will never forget. I want to thank you very much for that. I know how thorough and detailed you are. This House has always recognized the detailed way in which you carry out the work of this House. As I support this Report, I want to say that this is really one of the most important tools that will be required when we have the two Houses. This will be the first time we will have two Houses in Kenya. It has to be very clear which House will be doing what, how the two will relate and how movement of information will be between the two Houses. It is important for us to start right when we have the Senate and the House. We want to thank the Committee because they have been thorough in trying to separate the powers between the two Houses and showing how Bills will be moved in the two Houses. Without that, we will start the wrong way and it will be very difficult for us. I also want to laud the creation of joint committees and in particular the Committee of Cohesion and Integration. It is very important that we close in on the areas of conflict and those that divide, so that the two Houses recognize that they are not being divided for anything, except for purposes of efficiency in this country. We expect that some of the Bills will be moved in the two Houses. Those of us who are intending not to be in this House, but to go and serve at the local level as governors will be very happy to see a very cohesive Parliament between the two Houses. On Part XXV, the Standing Order No.235 of the Senate stipulates a new area which is the procedure of dealing with reports that come from the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) and those that come from the Pan African Parliament (PAP). This, I"
