    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there was ever one monumental moment for this Senate, it is today. This is even greater than any impeachment process we have had. We have had these proceedings in a manner that restores extraordinary national faith in this House. The potential of what we will do on 4th potentially can impeach this country. What happened today is what Sen. Wetangula said; that it where we seek good men and women for that matter. Mwalimu Julius Nyerere said; Watu wema wako meaning, good people are there. All we need as a nation is to continue seeking good people. Today, we live in a nation where there is so much suspicion, ethnic hatred, division and malice across the board. It is important for this Senate and politicians across the board to start bridging that rhetoric. We should start to pronounce ourselves on some of these most fundamental national issues because the perception of a fair election is one thing but elections that end up in bloodshed is something we must avoid by all costs. Therefore, as we prosecute our matters in this Senate, let us make sure that that perception of fairness or a level playing field is enshrined. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Orengo talked about the issue of the majority having their way. It is not a question of having their way but bulldozing their way and we must stop it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we administer a poor country with poor people out there. They look to us for hope every single day. This Senate and the National Assembly constantly The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
