    "content": "Thank you, Sen. Wako, because the next thing was the Chair to ask me to substantiate. Sen. Wako, I want to assure you that when and not if you run for that position, you will have my vote. That tells you something about the depth and breadth that sits in this House. I encourage my colleagues that even as we look at the issue of division of revenue which I know is still in our Order Paper, let us not be shy to propose amendments. Sometimes when we sit with our brothers and sisters in the National Assembly, we joke and they say that if we change anything in the Bills that come from their House, we shall not get our money for oversight. You can see that the approval of the Oversight Fund seems to be deliberately delayed to see how we will react and behave on the Division of Revenue Bill. The issue of mediation and the capability and ability of this House to have a second eye review on Bills coming from the National Assembly is a constitutional duty and we should not be shy away from that."
