    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion for the adjournment of the House, for the holidays and other issues. I think we have done well and put in a lot of work. Whether or not that work has borne fruit is something--- We as the people who trust you and gave you the mantle to hold on our behalf, I ask you this Christmas, to really think about how best we can make this Senate more successful and fruitful. I saw a comment recently by a Member of the other House with what appears in my view to belittle the work that you do. You have the support of 67 adults, very mature and intelligent Kenyans called Senators. Do not be afraid. Do not be cowed. Do not be intimidated. You are not lower than any person even if you came after them. You are the Speaker of the Senate. Walk as such; talk as such. We are ready to defend you all the way to wherever it is going to be. When Article 110 says that you must be consulted, you must be consulted. If you are not consulted, say so. Nobody can remove you from office except these Senators or the expiry of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we do not want you or we, to be belittled. This Mace here and the crown is your authority. Exercise authority. The ruling by the Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, should be carried like the Bible or the Quran or any other holy book that you believe in, as the Ten Commandments. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
