    "content": "If order is not properly followed, then we are going to have serious difficulties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we ended the last Parliament with more than 32 Bills that had been passed here, then passed on to the National Assembly and kept away to gather dust on the shelves. Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale, the former Senator for Kakamega, brought a Bill to this House; then a Member of the National Assembly picked the same Bill, plagiarized it word for word and took it to the National Assembly. They passed it, took it to the President and it was assented to without any reference to this House. Similarly, Sen. (Dr.) Zani brought a Bill on minerals. They picked it up, plagiarized it word for word and passed it in the National Assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you now have an onerous duty to protect, defend, maintain and sustain the dignity of this House; otherwise, there will be no Senate. In fact, I heard one of the Members – whom I have had tremendous respect for and who appears to be grossly misreading the Constitution – even saying that the National Assembly should abolish the Senate."
