    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Chinua Achebe told us that one of the true tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised. The Senate has refused to be compromised and that is why we have all the hue and cry from our colleagues from the National Assembly. I want to specifically congratulate the team that has been handling investigations into the Solai Dam tragedy and the team that has been looking into the Ruaraka scandal. When all is said and done, that is where the crux of the matter is. We have won the hearts of the nation for people have looked at how our Committees have conducted themselves with dignity and decorum. We have breathed fresh air into the House of Parliament. We should be celebrated and not condemned. Congratulations to those teams. I also thank the leadership of the Senate led by our able Senate Majority Leader for standing up to these bullies. They might have succeeded to intimidate us in the Eleventh Parliament, but this time round, they should be assured that we shall match them pound for pound, dollar for dollar. Long live the Senate."
