    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the issue before us is fundamental. The Member is under difficult to help her people, but the law is the law. Nothing stops the Member from petitioning the Senate if her Senator is not working. Even their Standing Orders, which are basically copied from ours, provide for petitions. So, she can do it as a person from Isiolo. It would be wrong to equate the provision of the Women Representative to that of a Senator even though the Women Representative is voted in by the whole county. These are some of the issues we may have to look into going forward. All I am saying is that I sympathise with the Member, but many of us who opposed the creation of the Senate said that the Senate was never given enough work. This is the only work given to the House called the Senate. That is why they are scampering trying to create job for themselves. This is the core and the duty of the role of the Senate. It would be wrong for us to delve into it."
