    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I am concerned that if part three of the fourth session of the sitting of the Senate is to begin on 13th September, 2016, some of us have suspicions about it. It, therefore, appeared to us that the Session will be mired in negativity. I am very pleased that the negativity will be no more now that we will start on 20th September, 2016. We have achieved a lot. When I retired as the Attorney General, one of the greatest achievements I had achieved with other stake-players was that we ensured that the legislation which was supposed to be enacted under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution within one year was actually enacted within one year just before I retired. I also want to reiterate that I do hope that there will be no need for diplomats and church leaders to come in for us to put our heads together in future. There will also be no need for people to be injured and even end up dying before we can sit round a table and solve problems. We should be able to see the problem and solve it. There would have been no need for us to have been called during recess had we done this before then. This would have been passed in good time about a year or so ago and we would now be focusing on implementation. I wish all the Senators good recess. Let wananchi see what you are doing in the Senate. Please, explain to them because the role of the Senate has not been understood by the electorate."
