    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this most important Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not able to join you in Mombasa and was not in the House yesterday, because of some personal challenges that I had. But I was following the proceedings both in Mombasa and yesterday. I was very happy with the positions taken by the Senators both in Mombasa and in this House yesterday. I was especially very glad to hear the Senate Majority Leader say that whoever touches the Senate Minority Leader touches him and the Senate Minority Leader reciprocates. I think that is the spirit. We want to fight for the institution of the Senate. We have to ignore the small and petty differences between us because the big picture is here for all of us. We have to fight this institution as Senators. Let us not be divided by those other small partisan interests. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I especially want to support the idea that we go back to the Supreme Court for another advisory opinion. Many laws have been passed, which touch on the counties even in their own contexts, even when the plain reading of the law talks about the counties. However, there are some people who are maliciously reading the laws to pretend that they do not touch on issues regarding the counties. For instance, the Mining Bill. Where are you going to mine? There are no mines in the sky!"
