    "content": "in terms of the other Bills we have had. However, I know that most Senators have taken their time to talk to Members of the National Assembly from their counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to single you out. On several occasions, on national television and several programmes, you have been very vocal and have taken it personally to talk to your counterparts at the National Assembly. I want to appreciate the collective responsibility that this House has shown in ensuring that this Bill succeeds. I note the concern raised by the Nominated Senators and Nominated Members of the National Assembly. I want to agree with them. Sen. Khalwale talked about Section “m” that gives the Chairman of the Board an opportunity to invite. We agreed that Nominated Senators and Members of the National Assembly will be invited as ex-officio Members. So, we did not lock out anybody. This was in the spirit of give and take. We negotiated and agreed. The Chairman of the Mediation Committee, Sen. Amos Wako, the Attorney- General Emeritus is not here. However, he did a lot of work in negotiating with Members of the National Assembly. We used his expertise as a certified arbitrator. We worked together jointly. I want to thank him, in absentia, for a job well done. With those remarks, I beg to reply."
