Speaker, Sir, in Articles 95 and 96 of the Constitution, the roles of Members of the Senate are defined; to protect and fight for the county Governments. The National Assembly cuts across and represents the people of Kenya. On this one, I want to say this: Tomorrow, when we open debate on it, we should support equal and fair representation, which will be based on each Parliament’s strength, so that we are not seen to be biased. That would mean that Parliament nominates all Members, but not the Senate."}
