"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate is an equalising House. It is not a representative house in the strict legal term of “representativeness.” This is because it is not about the number of people you represent, but the fact that we have divided our country into counties which deserve equal representation. It then becomes a House of balancing the excesses of the tyranny of democracy. Just as every Member of the National Assembly has an equal number of votes and those who are many can then determine how decisions are made, in the Senate, the Senator of Nairobi City County, with 4.9 million people, has exactly the same vote as the Senator for Lamu with about 100,000 people. That is how it should be."
