    "content": "We want to have a harmonious relationship with the National Assembly and we have told you that as our Speaker and you have done very well in trying to create that harmony. However, we seem to continuously have bloated egos from certain Members of the National Assembly chairing committees. Little wonder that this is the same Committee that sits and allocates every Member of its Committee Kshs100 million from the national Budget. When this House makes an amendment with very cogent reasons as to why we are adjusting the figures allocated to the counties, the Chairman rudely and arrogantly and without any show of respect to the “Upper House” says that we do not know what we are doing. I want to suggest that as part of the leadership, we are going to nominate a strong team to go to mediation as is required under the Standing Orders and the Constitution. That team must know that they are not going there to please anybody, but to defend the reasoned position of this House. Kama inapasuka, ipasuke ! We cannot continue being belittled by a person who has been elected by 7,000 people when Members of the Senate are elected by hundreds of thousands of people. This House must take a firm position on this continuing belligerence, arrogance and obstinacy from Members of the “Lower House”."
