    "content": "In a bicameral system, there is one House that is representative. That is where the equality of the vote counts and every Member is elected by an equal number. There is a House that is collegiate and represents college or corporate interest of counties which is why I have the same work as the Senator for Nairobi with five million residents and three million voters with my friend the Senator for Lamu with two constituencies because we represent the corporate entities called counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to reassert and reaffirm the role of this House in terms of working together with the institutions of accountability, for instance, the Auditor General, National Intelligence Service (NIS) et cetera to make sure that we can truly serve the people. I hope that whoever we will send as Jubilee and even as NASA to represent us in the Parliamentary Service Commission will make sure that Senators are equipped to serve the people. Many Senators probably did not make it because the people on the ground did not understand what role Senators play. Some made it because they went out of their way to provide services to the people away from the legal role that he has so that the people could feel that he is close to them, for instance, Sen. Sonko. Finally, I concur with hon. Mwaura, having been nominated before, that we need to think creatively."
