    "content": "country is run well. It is the responsibility of Senators who are here, whom I have a lot of respect for, to make sure that this Senate brings this country together for the sake of the future. It should not allow it to be viewed otherwise. In every country, the Senate is the Upper House and the laws are respected. It is time that civic education was undertaken to Members of the other House so that they understand their position and know that the Senate is the Upper House which has got to carry this country to greater prosperity for the future generation. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is time we looked at what is happening. I know that devolution is working and that there are committees mandated to look at corruption and the theft that is going on. You will get scared to see what is happening. You will see houses mushrooming and wonderful buildings coming up very fast yet such like things were not there in the past. We need a sober society; a society that is respectful and fearful. As a leader, you have got to carry your office with dignity if you are mandated with one. That is what the Senate should be calling for; to have a dignified House which will carry Kenya a long way. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Mover of the Motion. We should review these laws properly because the Committee is mandated to do that. Let us also consider whether civic education can be provided so that people can respect their positions, offices that they hold and the laws that have been laid down in this country. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
