    "content": "institutions which are critical to good governance. Unfortunately, the action by the National Assembly will frustrate the activities and programmes of these institutions. If you look at the Judiciary, it may be compelled to curtail some of its activities. In other words, they will not be able to enable Kenyans access justice in a number of parts of this country and yet that is the target that we had set for the Judiciary. We will be setting the Judiciary for failure through this action. All these are very unfortunate but I am glad that we have a Motion today with very good intentions. I think that this Senate should be committed to ensuring the full protection of the Constitution. We should stand together to ensure that constitutionalism and the current Constitution to which we are committed, is fully protected. I strongly endorse the appointment of the Select Committee as proposed to study these matters in detail and make appropriate recommendations, hopefully with the view to strengthen the Senate. I feel very frustrated as the Senator for Kisii County because I am unable to discharge my functions as would have been expected of me, because I have not been enabled. I am unable to travel across all the nine constituencies of the county or access all the 45 wards of the county to understand the aspirations, challenges that the people are facing and how the money that we send to the counties is used. I am unable to do all that. I was hoping that this provision would have enabled me to do so and that is why I strongly support this Motion. I hope that at some point, we will be able to get somewhere if we all stick together as Senators. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
