    "content": "History repeats itself. In 1963, the Senate was once a House in the history of this country. Our Senate needs to sober up. Kenyans are getting tired of using their taxes to finance the operations of a moribund House. The last straw came especially with myself and the Leader of the Minority Party when we had been appointed by this House to represent the National Assembly in five mediation committees. What we saw was horror. What we experienced, if replayed, will cause anger. Worse still, if what we experienced was to be played on national television, Kenyans would weep. It is a House that has no interest for Kenyans in its heart. It is a House that flourishes in flouting the Constitution. It is a House that thrives when there is an impasse like mediation. I dare say it is a House that smiles when Bills fail. If you think it is a joke, why would a Bill like the Roads Bill, a critical Bill for defining standards for both the national trunk and county roads, fail? That is the question we must ask ourselves. Why should a Bill like the Division of Revenue that is important to the county governments fail?"
