"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the National Assembly, of course, rightly, did what it did. What it did becomes one of the worst decisions. However, this House, the Senate, is the “Upper House”, the House of reason and the sober House. Today, we came here not to write another chapter of “Lamentations”. There is already a Book of Lamentations in the Bible written by Jeremiah. We came to preside over making a decision that will have profound impact and change in this nation forever. Let today – I request Senators – become a moment of reflection that will allow us to make decisions going forward. When Kenyans look back 50 years down the line, let them say that the Senate of Kenya sitting down at such a time made a decision that strengthened the House going forward. Therefore, that is why I am very happy that this House has reiterated its responsibility to support independent offices. We have reiterated our commitment to work robustly and ensure that we respect the courts."
