    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, even if we are going to discuss the County Allocation of Revenue Bill this afternoon, it will just be another rubber stamp venture. We will not spend as much time on it. That leads me to think that something needs to be done to give relevance to the Senate. Otherwise, we need to get rid of it. I do not support the Membership of the team that has been set up for one reason. It is top-heavy. It has got people who are already Chairpersons of several other Committees; people with significant responsibilities. Madam Temporary Speaker, the team that we are setting up is going to suffer getting quorum or convening. I support the move to set up the team but I do not support the composition of that team. How I wish more Members could be here to scrutinize that team because it will not make us progress. They are people whose hearts mean well for this country but they are too busy running political parties and movements out there. This team will not progress. There are hon. Senators whose hearts are in the right place. They mean well for this country but they are too busy running political parties, movements and multiple committees in this House. I do not support this membership. We need people who have time, passion and not hoping to become governors. This list is full of people who want to become governors. With all the imperial powers governors have, they want to become governors because they know there is a weak Senate that will not do anything about it. Do we expect someone who has powers to be a hyena to come up with proper regulations for sheep? I do not support this team even though I support the establishment of a team. I wish we could have had time for a robust debate on this matter rather The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
