    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o for his intervention and clarification. It is actually because of the Article he has read to us that we are talking about a sine die adjournment. That means we will be on recess until 8th August, 2017 which is the date of the next general election. So, the fact that we will break in June will not affect our term in office according to our Constitution. Secondly, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o for that very informative input. I promise him and the rest of the House that I will introduce Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'- Nyong'o’s proposal to the SBC so that as we do our weekly business, towards the end, that allowance is accommodated for those of us who do not intend to return to this House to be given an opportunity to make their benedictory remarks although the way he presented it was a bit somber. It made him look like they are going to die thereabout. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I understand. If somebody is not running for a seat in the Senate, it is unlikely that, that would be their last statement. However, I foresee a situation where going forward we are going to have retired governors coming back to the Senate because there is nowhere else that retired governors can go. Unless you become president, which is one seat, you cannot become a county assembler or go to the National Assembly. Most likely, the retired governors like the future governor of Kakamega who is looking at me is likely to return to this House. So, be careful with the kind of benediction you will give. Otherwise, you might spoil your own chances of coming back in future after your duty. 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"
