    "content": "Hon. Senators, it is important as a House that we give Kenyans an opportunity to make provisions for the legislative process to proceed. As we process this Bill, I would like to make a special appeal to you to display the same level of maturity and sobriety that this country has come to expect from the Senate and the Senators. The people of Kenya are looking up to the Senate. They expect from the Senate nothing less than a sober reflection and circumspection on the issues before us. Debate robustly and hold different views. It is your prerogative. But, please, do so with decency and decorum and in accordance with the Constitution, the laws and the rules of this House. In addition to our normal Standing Orders, I also note that the Committee itself has the two Co-Chairs of this process. So, they are better placed than any other Committee to transact this business. I also thank the two sides of the House; the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, for working together for us to agree on the convenient date for the next Sitting. Hon. Senators, to do otherwise is to subvert our democracy and our constitutional order which establishes Parliament as the place where the representatives of the people meet peacefully and unarmed and make the laws that govern the nation. This must always be so. I thank you."
