    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe that he will do a lot of good in this Committee and he will take fresh energy and all the expertise into it. When it comes to the Joint Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity for Sen. Mungai, I believe that my whip and the leadership must have even consulted him to make sure that he will now serve in one of the most important committees. It is because, just as Sen. M. Kajwang has said, this is one of the committees which are supposed to bring this country together. It has to make sure that this country cannot be divided on tribal lines or favour one region more than the other. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a committee that is supposed to make sure that this nation stands as one. When I look at the new Constitution, its unifying factor is the presidency but I am a bit worried because the powers of the presidency were diluted or devolved such that the unifying factor is not as strong as before. I know Sen. Murkomen has been moving a very important Motion to ensure that we have a committee which is going to look into the Constitution of this country, I believe that is one area that the committee needs to look at and ensure that Kenyans can make sure the presidency is empowered. I believe if we have that, we will not talk the way other politicians talk because at any one time, we will know that it is the institution that is supposed to hold this country together. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a committee I believe in and I know the qualities and the capabilities of Sen. Mungai. He is the Senator for Nakuru which is the most cosmopolitan county we know in this country where even those who will want to divide this nation by saying that they will want a particular tribe to go for the governorship or for the senatorship--- I know this committee will not be for that but will look at the country as one and see a face called Kenya. I know he is equal to the task and again, let me congratulate the RBC for these appointments and also congratulate all those who have been given the task of serving in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
