    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me also thank Sen. Murkomen for bringing this Motion, so that we ventilate on the serious issue of salaries. As I speak here, the Speaker for Bomet is upstairs in the cafeteria. He came to see the famous lady to try and resolve the problem as send by his county assembly members. For all the reasons we know, he was not able to see her and so he decided to see the Senator for Bomet to try and resolve the problem. When I try to fit into the shoes of the members of the county assembly as they try to come out of this tricky situation, I think we are expecting a miracle here if we do not do the necessary things. We should, probably, be down on our knees or we should turn the clock back to 2000 years ago when miracles were plenty. Right now, miracles are difficult to come by. Therefore, we need to do something. As we continue to lament about this issue of salaries, we should be able to address some of the shortcomings in the systems that we have. For example, there is a huge disconnect between this Senate and the county assemblies. These are areas in legislation that we need to amend. Whereas we have Standing Orders No.41 and 42 where we receive and can send messages to the National Assembly and the President can send a message to the Senate, we do not have a provision where county assemblies can send messages anywhere, whether to the National Assembly, or to the Senate. So, there is no communication between us and the people we purport to stand for. It is very important 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."
