    "content": "(7) Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale (8) Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. (9) Sen. Halima Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, we want to set the record straight that the institution of the Senate will have to do a constitutional review through the Select Committee to look at all the issues that are affecting the work of the Senate and to ensure that we come up with a clear road map. As we leave this Senate, the next Senate shall never find itself with the challenges that we have been facing. Senators need to embrace themselves because we are not turning back. In Mombasa, the Senate Majority Leader said that anyone who turns back will turn into salt just like the wife of Lot. Therefore, we are hoping that we will stand firm. This is just the beginning. We have a right to prepare everything that we need. We are not saying that we have joined the Pesa Mashinani Movement; we are saying that the Senate wants to use a deliberate road map to ensure that we look at the articles and the issues that affect the Senate. After that, we will face the nation and say that if we join hands together we will have a better Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also need to understand that it is a political process. Therefore, we will have many who will come in, many who will slaughter the agenda and those who will support it. The most important thing is that we must look at the issues without being emotional. We shall be tolerant because in a political process, as much as we want everything, it is a consensus process. We have to meet political leaders and ensure that the issues of women are captured within the same process, so that we carry the country together and ensure that in the end, we decide on the right time for the referendum. As I finalize, and call upon Sen. Orengo to second, I hope this time the Senate is going to stand firm and give a justification why we need the Senate to move on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and call upon Sen. Orengo to second."
