    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have explained this matter five times now; it is the responsibility of the two Speakers of Parliament according to Article 110(3); period. Any other way of shifting blame and putting blame on the wrong people is erroneous. However, I do not agree with my senior colleague, Sen. G.G Kariuki, when he says that some of us are the headache; in fact, we are the panadol; we are the pain killer of this grave migraine. It is not even a headache; it is a migraine. The cause or the culprits of this migraine are named in Article 110(3). I do not need to name them; they are named in the Constitution. So, I cannot be the headache. First of all, there is no headache, this is a migraine. Those who have caused it are named in the Constitution. Finally, I want to say, on a very serious note; as the Senate Majority Leader I take it very gravelly that nearly two years down the line, we are still struggling with very fundamental and basic issues about the role of this House. I want to assure Members of my total and unequivocal support. We will fight this together. The earlier we stopped putting divisions amongst ourselves, the better for all of us. In the other agencies especially the National Assembly, I have said it again and I want to repeat it before I sit down, that not a single Member, not in the Government side or the Opposition side is supporting the Senate. So, we are on our own. The earlier we work together in unison and unity, the better for this House and posterity. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
