    "content": "people do not read. He calls them characters and I call them people. If they read, they do not understand what they are reading. In the mediation of the Division of Revenue Bill, we will take the same position taken by Sen. Ndwiga and his Committee. They must understand the views of the Senate. We do not legislate for the sake of it. We do not make our comments just because we came and we were here. I have seen Sen. Murkomen‟s protests on twitter and they are real though the picture is letting us down. He protested that this Senate should be involved in the health function and the Health Bill, however minute. When we have disagreement, the mediation process must follow. When the President disagrees, he should bring a veto under Article 115. We will deal with it, because that is what we are paid to do. Allow me to support this Report and thank the wisdom of Sen. Ndwiga. Truly, this is a House of wisdom. All the mediation committees that we have ably appointed should follow that example. We should sit in the meetings and negotiate. The National Assembly has taken a position where they appoint leadership in all mediation committees. We have appointed Senators and not leadership because every Senator in this House is equivalent to the task."
