"content": "Strange, indeed! Finally, I urge the Chair to come up with an abridged version on the Senate position on constitutional reforms. We are going on a long recess and everyone is trying to influence public debate on the institutions that they run. The governors are talking of ugatuzi . The National Assembly is saying that constituencies shall not be abolished. What about the Senate? What kind of Senate do we want? Is it going to be an Upper House with veto powers? Is it going to be a council of leaders of majority for county assemblies or is it going to be a base for promotion of Members of County Assemblies (MCAs)? My view is that this Senate must be a place where governors aspire to come to. It should be natural that once you have become a governor, you progress to the Senate rather than moving from the Senate to go to the village to become a governor. May you order that the Chair circulates that abridged version before we go on recess?"
