    "content": "Sen. (Dr.) Zani talked of social audits to be done as a starting point and the issues of baseline of where we are and an advisory oversight committee. Sen. Farhiya acknowledged the idea on Clause 6 on the national rights and fundamental freedoms, realization of economic and social rights and value of hard work. Sen. Poghisio elaborated for us what we need to do as human beings to make sure that these principles under Article 4 are upheld to promote sustainable development and that all persons under this Act is guided by the principles. I hope I am not forgetting anybody, but we will make sure, as this House, that all the inputs will be taken care of. There was also talk of the framework that of enforcement by Sen. Cheruiyot. I thank him very much for linking leadership to this Bill where he talked about individual actions being a hallmark of leadership. This Bill takes us from just lamenting about services not being there to actually putting in place a framework where we can provide services to our citizens. I thank all the Senators that have contributed. I will make sure that every input, suggestion and proposal for amendment is taken into consideration to refine the Bill. However, I will also make sure that the provisions of this Bill are implementable and trackable. It will also become a tool of providing our counties and our governors with a framework that would enable them to report on enforcement of socio-economic rights in our country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank everybody once more for the opportunity to legislate on this area of great importance to our country. I look forward to the implementation of the provisions in this Bill, as well as the support that this Bill will get even from the “lower” House. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to reply, but request that we defer the putting of the question to a different time."
