    "content": "These friends of ours were in the other House before they were promoted. At that point in time, they did not have the benefit of sitting in this very august House. We believe that your election to be the Speaker of the Senate, that of your brother in the National Assembly, myself in the leadership of the majority and my colleagues; Sen. Dullo, Sen. Kihika and Sen. Kang’ata, among all the other leadership that are going to be elected, will help foster good relationship between both Houses. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Procedural Motion is necessary to facilitate debate in terms of allocation of time. This particular Motion is not sponsored by the majority or minority party or a Committee of this House. Therefore, in its consideration, we should at most take about three hours giving 20 minutes to the Mover, 20 minutes to the Senate Majority Leader and another 20 minutes to the Senate Minority Leader. Thereafter, everybody else will have 15 minutes so that we can have a fair share of debate and as many shades of opinion as possible and contributions from both sides of the political divide. As you can see, one side of this House is already full. The Jubilee side, the majority side, is eager to represent their people, to push agendas related to devolution. We have no time to waste, but to ensure that we move forward together. Because this is just a Procedural Motion, let me not speak much because we will have time in the business which is in this Order Paper, Order No.11. I beg Sen. Moi to second."
