    "content": "remind them that I bought the feeds because I had budgeted for that. Again, the women representative went ahead to say the things she was going to do for the county. I was almost tempted to promise them what I will do but I realised that I have no money at all. The commissioners should remember to represent us. They should ensure that we have a sufficient kitty so that we can move. This is a platform for us to get elected but we cannot be elected without money. If we get enough money for oversight, that will help us move from being nominated to being elected. My three sisters know very well how difficult it is for a woman to get an elective position. The Constitution has created a chance for us to be nominated and we want many women to be in this Parliament. However, we would like to have the nominated women move up the scale from being nominated to getting to elective positions, so that we leave room for other women. If we do that, we will have good representation in the House. I believe that these commissioners will represent us well and that they will be impartial in executing their mandate. I also believe that they will practice fairness as they represent the two Houses; the National Assembly and the Senate. As they carry out their mandate, they should also remember that the Senate is the “Upper House” but we have a shortfall of many things. I need not to mention things that we fall short of because they are part of us and they know them. I believe that the commissioners will leave a legacy so that what the Twelfth Parliament did is remembered. Despite the shortcomings, it should be clear that we had issues of mileage and nominated Senators’ kitty which were addressed. I second this Motion and believe that the commissioners will carry our thoughts into their offices and we shall be far better than we are. They should hold office and execute their mandate according to the Constitution and also be impartial in their undertakings. I thank you."
