Sen. Okong’o Omogeni 9. Sen. Mohamed Faki Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are the names of Senators to the various Committees. I would wish to say more, but I know many Senators are fatigued. We have been here the whole day. We are still waiting for the Communication from the National Assembly. However, what is important is that finally the Senate now has Members to the various Committees. I wish we had the names to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) as provided. We would have passed them as they are or possibly caucused in this House. The persons put there by the Senate in both sides are persons we know. We would have passed the names together with these Committees. However, be it as it may, hopefully reason will prevail so that maybe next week we can come back or any other time as agreed by both Houses to approve the names. These Committees are very critical. The number of questions I have received in this House and which I have tried to answer as the Senate Majority Leader have not been ventilated enough. Yesterday we were debating about the questions that need to be dealt with in Committees such as Land, Environment and Natural Resources, Labour and Social Welfare and National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. We now have time to call the officers and hold them to account on behalf of our people. So to speak, we will now function properly. The spirit of give and take should prevail in every conversation and consultation that will go ahead in so far as the leadership of these Committees are concerned. With those many remarks, I beg to move and invite the Senate Minority Leader to second."
