    "content": "My colleagues, particularly the first five in this Committee, Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Murungi, Sen. Lesuuda, Sen. (Eng.) Karue, whom I know can stand the test when it requires and Sen. Billow- for you to even allow your names to be in this Committee, you are going to be faced with many challenges more than any one of us. So, I appeal to you that we are on the right course, so long as we do not look back. Sen. Murkomen, if you look back on this, I know that we are never going to have a better country. We can quarrel about power, who occupies State House and who the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County is. However, on how this country is governed, I think that we should have a bipartisan approach and agree that when it calls on the Senate to speak in one voice as I have seen many times, that we will do so. Hopefully, this process will not be seen as the other processes which may attract political attention but as a process where even Members of the Executive would be comfortable to also give their views and they are justified. Then, they can be taken into consideration. I hope that when we go to the people and get their votes, the Senate will finally be a House of honour and authority. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we look at the way things happen, for example, if I ever wanted a public office where I am to be interviewed before a committee of 30 to 40 people in the National Assembly – some of whom do not know anything about what is being discussed – I think time is coming when approval of committees and appointment of people --- I support."
