    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, during this Session many activities took place. There were a lot of exercises where Governors and Senators were involved. It is within the same period that we saw Governor Wambora being impeached. This House has really done us proud, as Senators. Let me just commend each and every Senator for that. I doubt whether Senators have had time to be in their counties. So, this is the time we feel we may do that. At the same time, we have a lot of work at the Committee level. In fact, the Bills which were just read this afternoon by the Senate Majority Leader will be handled at the Committee level. So, the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, where I am the Vice Chairperson – and I know many other Senators are - must start working. I am happy because the Chair and also the Senate Minority Leader are also Members of that Committee. So, from even next week, I know we will not have that holiday. We will still go on working. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me just comment on the training of our military. I feel that we need to also look at the training of our police forces. The Senate Majority Leader, as he comes up with his Bill about the security of the counties as he had indicated, I think the way the military of this country are trained is really commendable. We remember very well that during the 2007/2008 Post Election Violence (PEV), our armed forces stepped in and played a major role in stopping the violence. We are proud of the way they handled that situation. As we talk about the issue of training of our police force, it high time that we also know what they do in the military that they do not do at the police force. With those few remarks, I support."
