    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we make a lot of cries, speak a lot of English and Kiswahili languages in this House, but if the Constitution and the Standing Orders do not prescribe any mode of action, it is all zero. It is an exercise in futility. The best way forward for us is to look at pitfalls, loopholes, omissions and commissions in the Constitution. We should also review our Standing Orders so that we have a specific way of action. The Speaker of the National Assembly has done whatever he did, but so what? Our cries will not do anything to change the situation. Let us have a sober approach to these issues. This is the moment to unify the Senate at the grassroots level and build a strong advocacy for a constitutional review because it is important. It does not matter whether you are talking of Okoa Kenya or Punda Amechoka initiatives and so on. We can come up with our own name and unify the process so that some of these issues can be addressed in a structured manner."
