    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me salute the leadership of the Senate for the good conference they had in Mombasa, after which they came to realize that the existence of this Senate was under threat. I salute the entire leadership and also thank our Speaker, Hon. Ethuro who sat on the Chair the whole afternoon guiding this House when this Motion was being debated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, I think the whole country knows that the Senate is there, it is going to be there and it knows that we have been doing a good job. One of the things we did after being elected so that we could be called Senators, we were sworn in. We were sworn in to defend our Constitution. Even those in the National Assembly and the Executive swore to defend the Constitution. The Senate with its humility, being the defender of the Constitution and the protector of the counties has come out with this Motion because there are some mistakes being made and we must correct them. Many are the times when the whole nation would wonder whether the Speaker of the National Assembly has been acting out of ignorance or as a way of acquiring more power. It should be very clear in his mind and even to the Members of the National Assembly that power was devolved. The National Assembly has its limits and also the Senate has its duty. With all due respect, we need not be accorded respect, but to be given 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."
