    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. I also congratulate the Members who represented this House in mediation. The issue of mediation is a constitutional matter. Sometimes, I observe that when Bills originate from the National Assembly, and to the Senate, there are instances in which Senators are hesitant to make significant amendments that will put us in a position that we have to mediate. One of the examples is the matter of the Division of Revenue. I recall that last year, there were issues when the Senators made proposals that went beyond what the National Assembly thought that the Senate was expected to do. The people of Kenya should know that when the Senate scrutinizes Bills from the National Assembly, it is doing so in furtherance of its constitutional duty. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the roles of the Senate beyond protection and defence of devolution, is to provide quality assurance. In many other jurisdictions, what comes from the other House has to pass through this House.
