"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Bill. This is a very important legislative function and one of those very key responsibilities for all Senators. There is a lot that has been said about this House, including earlier by Sen. Kajwang. It is not true that this Senate is weak or has less responsibility. It is true that this Senate is being frustrated. It is also true that there is a skewed interpretation of sections of the Constitution to narrow the legislative and oversight scope of the Senate. The truth of the matter is that if you had a liberal purposive interpreter of the Constitution in the other House, you would achieve a lot without necessarily going through this kind of abuses that this House has received over time."
