Billow","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":260,"legal_name":"Billow Adan Kerrow","slug":"billow-kerrow"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion to adjourn this House effective today. But I think there are more serious issues affecting this House itself than some of the reasons that have been cited by the Senate Majority Leader in seeking the adjournment. I appreciate that he has mentioned Makueni, Isiolo and some of the other challenges that we face, but I think we really have a more fundamental challenge for which we need even a longer adjournment so that we can find a solution. The biggest problem we have is about the Senate, more than the county assemblies and the county executives. If there is one institution today that is actually faced with a serious problem of existence – the existential and functional aspects of it – it is this House. In the last one month, there have been court rulings – not less than four of them – that have virtually rendered this House in-operational."}
