    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me from the outset support this Motion. Some of us have been captured on the HANSARD talking about issues of the Senate. In the Biblical phrases, John the Baptist created a way for Christ. It is the same way the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) created the way for devolution. Most Senators in this House have spoken eloquently that this is the right time to enforce and fight for the rightful place of this House, not for ourselves. As it is written in the book of Matthew: “Do unto others what you expect them to do unto you.” Tomorrow, we do not know who will be here. I have been on record saying that this House must be strengthened. So, 30 years to come when my son, Prince, will be here, he will be in a comfortable place to do what is right for this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support all the issues that the eminent Senators have spoken about. There is a lot of hopelessness and despondency in our counties but I know that we are on the right track. We only attained our liberal democracy in 2002 when the Kibaki Regime came into power. Therefore, I am not going to belabour what has been said. The Senators who have spoken were chosen in this House to be in the Committee and fit the bill. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
