    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator to your right is Prof. Lesan from Bomet County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion. The fact that we are a significant Senate in making devolution successful has been stated by the Senators who have spoken before me. What I want to bring forth here is that since there are three Speakers in the three Houses of Parliament and counties in this country, I wish to suggest, because it is in our interest, including the Speakers that devolution succeeds, that the three Rules and Business Committees occasionally put their heads together, especially bearing in mind the fact that there is an extra space in the back of our minds to be able to look at the calendar of the three Houses and probably, include in the calendar a session in which we can have joint meetings. We already have joint meetings with the National Assembly, but do not have joint meetings with the county assemblies. I think that there can be joint meetings between the Senators and the County Representatives. This can be inserted in the calendar for the year, so that it becomes a phenomenon which we can continue to follow, without necessarily making it uncomfortable for those Senators who come from far, to be able to rush or miss sessions with their electorate. So, I think that this should fall in the calendar of Parliament, so that this can be a phenomenon which goes on throughout the year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
