    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support what has been said by a majority of the Members, especially on the last three opinions; that it is time for us, as a Senate, to do whatever we have to do, albeit, through you as the Speaker of this House to try and cement as much as possible a strong relationship with the National Assembly such that solutions can be found, where possible, internally without a lot of friction. As we are speaking now, there is already a retreat which has been called by Governors and Members of the County Assemblies. The purpose for that retreat, which has been called, is because the Governors have called Members of the County Assemblies to lobby them and to take a common position against both Houses of Parliament. Their target is largely because of the Sang Bill. They want to lobby Members of the County Assemblies against the Sang Bill with regard to the formation of the Ward Boards. I heard serious sentiments from Members of my County Assembly pegged on that. When both Houses are facing such an affront, we also need to fortify our ground and ensure that we do not lose the National Assembly especially so as to move forward. We should try as much as possible to find internal solutions to this issue. The Chair should use the office and the Committee they are going to form so that we have a common working ground with the National Assembly. That way, we can be able to win the legislative agenda for this country."
