    "content": "The authority of the Senate is not just about Sen. Sang’s Bill. The Sang Bill was a piece of legislation which was well inspired and thought out but remember that the Bill only put us at the center of discussions relating to affairs of the county. It was just one small aspect. Giving authority to the Senate is not just about order of precedence. Some of us have nowadays given up. When we go for functions which have been organized by the county executive, we just take up whatever order of precedence that is assigned to us. You will find that even MCAs depending on their closeness to the governor would be given a higher order of precedence in public functions. We said that what defines order of precedence in public functions is not whether you are given a higher chair or put on a red carpet. Therefore, let nobody think that when we talk about giving authority to the Senate, it is about fighting for space, who speaks last in a public meeting, fighting for who chairs what meeting, who is the secretary of what meeting or fighting for some small amount of money in the form of a Kshs1 billion oversight fund."
