    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second this Bill. As the Chairman has indicated, we are just putting things in order. Under the Constitution, Parliament means both Senate and the National Assembly. In view of the fact that we now have the national Government and county governments, there are very many heroes and villains. The House that interacts with the Executive and other stakeholders at the county level is the Senate. It is only fair that they also be given a chance to participate in the recognition, vetting and identification of people to be awarded these honours. For a long time there have been complaints that the Senate does not have a lot to do. As we keep improving and updating our laws, they will be acquiring functions so that they also become relevant. As we move on, it will be good for us to correct the relationship between the National Assembly and the Senate. This is so that we can work in harmony for the development and the good of this country."
