    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion as moved by the Deputy Senate Majority Leader. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support the Motion, allow me to thank you for the elaborate communication that you made to the House this afternoon. You gave the House the proper procedure as laid down in the laws on how to handle a memorandum from the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, time and again, we, under your leadership, have demonstrated that the Senate is a House that follows the laid down laws, respects that Constitution and our own Standing Orders that guide debate in this House. I request you not to tire. In the past, I know you have followed the law and the correct procedures, but in the end, the Senate ends up losing. That should not discourage you because truth will set us free. We encourage you to continue guiding the House the way you have done ever since the House was inaugurated. At the end of the day, we will have the last laugh. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Members who have been selected to form the committee. It is a good gender mix. They are people with a lot of experience and I have a lot of confidence in them. I believe that my teacher, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o, Sen. Billow and the rest will represent us well in the joint committee. Let them know very well that they have our full backing. We, as a House, will back up whatever decisions they make. We wish them well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we support this procedural Motion."
