    "content": "We have seen eavesdropping reports in the newspapers that they are constantly terrorizing, harassing and extorting money from parastatal heads. This is criminal. We need to check ourselves before we check others. Even the Bible says that you should not look at the speck in your neighbour’s eye when there is a log in your own eye. We must to do this. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I strongly support this Bill. I urge Senators; elected and nominated, to support this Bill because when we have a Senate that is dealing with its matters, it will be an empowered Senate. We know that you were all nominated for a purpose. You have responsibilities to discharge. You have duties expected of you. You have special constituencies out there, to deal with. I have no doubt that none of you was nominated here. In fact, you are referred to as “specially elected.” None of you was specially elected under special considerations. You were elected because you have a responsibility to discharge. This Bill gives effect to that responsibility. Our Speaker can now come to our Kamukunji and we tell him what the Senate needs. We need to give him a list of all that we require and ask him to implement the matters. I am sure that the distinguished Senator for Kiambu who has just walked in gloating and glowing in the beginning of his journey to undermine his Governor will be part and parcel of this very important law."
