    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I rise to support this Bill. Today, I have learnt something. Many times I refer to the Senate as the House of the slightly aged or the elderly. I have realised how useful they are, especially to us, young parliamentarians. I walked into this Chamber today with the intention of opposing this Bill. However, I had a chat with one of the slightly elderly Senators and he inducted me well into the practices of Parliament. Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki asked me two questions which informed my position on this Bill. One, was whether I am opposed to this Bill in its entirety, which I am not. He also asked me if there are any good things that I see out of this Bill. Having answered in the affirmative, he informed me that when I am faced with such a dilemma, a smart parliamentarian - I wish to encourage other Members who find themselves in a similar dilemma – would support the Bill at this stage and then push for the amendments at the Committee Stage. That is what I have opted to do. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
