    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I wish the Senators proposed to serve in this Committee well, the best way of doing business anywhere in the world is to begin with the end in mind. As we begin this Third Session of the 12th Parliament and constitute the Senate Business Committee, I would want to challenge the Members of that Committee, as my colleagues have said, to give priority to business that seeks to entrench devolution and address the needs and aspirations of the people we represent in this Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fight against corruption is a matter that we need to mainstream in this Session of the Senate. The Senate Business Committee would do us proud if any business that has got to do with Petitions, Statements, Motions or Bills on corrupt practices in the counties are given priority, so that we stop the blatant theft of resources in almost every county in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of my colleagues have alluded to a retreat of the Senators to plan our business going forward. I would also want to add my voice to that proposal, that at the soonest time possible, this Senate needs to find time and reason to go on a retreat to talk about issues that affect us as we transact the Business of the Senate in this Session."
