    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reasons advanced by the Senate Majority Leader are plausible and for this reason, I rise to strongly second this Motion. The issue of Members of this House being given an opportunity to participate in political parties primaries might very well be the most important thing if indeed we want to preserve the quality of leadership that the first Senate attracted. It will count for nothing for Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., the Professor and Sen. Njoroge to sit here trying to impress that they are committed to the Senate only to go back and lose in the primaries thus fail to come back. I only have one concern. The Senate Majority Leader, you are the owner of the Motion, you can amend it without notice. There is something we need to think about. We are saying that we are coming back on 16th June, 2017. Look at the quality and quantity of business that the Speaker has had to defer. This business is very critical. Amongst others, is the County Pension Scheme Bill (Senate Bill No.20 of 2016). This Bill is so important to this country. I am so proud of where God allowed me to come from, because the majority of the people who contribute to this scheme, share the same DNA with me. I would like propose that we come back a bit earlier than June so that we thrash this very important business, among others. 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"
