    "content": "Hon. Senators, as you are aware, the Senate is faced with various challenges particularly around facilitation of Senators to effectively perform their constitutional functions as leaders in their respective counties. It is also clear that we, as Senators, are facing tremendous challenges in terms of the smooth operation of our legislative mandate. That notwithstanding, I am happy to report that the Senate leadership is constantly engaging the relevant arms of Government, constitutional organs and agencies to ensure that the mandate of the Senate is not hindered by any person or institution and to ensure that we deliver to the people of Kenya, our counties and ourselves. Just this morning, there was a very successful breakfast meeting between the Senate leadership and the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). We have received positive assurances. The Speaker and his brother Speaker from the National Assembly, the Senate Minority Leader, Commissioner Musila, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Sang, Sen. Murkomen and other colleagues were present during that breakfast meeting. We are convinced, beyond para adventure that if we can build on the spirit of that meeting, and it is possible to do so, when we resume early next year, we will have a better environment to operate from because nobody is interested in fighting other institutions or colleagues in the other House. We have no interest in fighting anybody. 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."
