    "content": "prepare the business for tomorrow, to enable the many Senators who would have wished to continue to contribute to do so. I want to thank Senators for their intelligent contributions. I have noted with a lot of humility the difference in terms of tone, particularly, from the Senate Minority Leader and his Deputy, Sen. Orengo; Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Senator for Kisii, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri who have had good contributions. Particularly, they castigated the political scenarios that we have in the country. I am so happy that this is coming from them because they have the key to stop what they call political madness, if I may quote them. As Senators, we are the engine of political operations in many of our political parties. We must now come back to our senses and focus on the business that matters in this country. We have business to run and want our economy to grow. We do not want an economy that is full of protestors. We do not want to misuse young people for purposes of just calling them for rallies. It is now time to sit down and work on the creation of jobs. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if this Senate and the Senators want to be respected, they must demonstrate that they respect the Constitution and constitutional offices. It must not be heard from the Floor of this House that there is a Senator who does not recognize that there is a democratically elected President. If that happens, in all our counties some characters that we defeated will declare and swear themselves to be Senators. We will be in a circus when we should be sitting down, working on how to make this Senate a strong House as my colleague talked about. That call, duty and desire to make the Senate a strong institution must be demonstrated in the manner in which we respect the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya."
