"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also wish to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Just to respond to the Senate Minority Leader, we have to defend the Senate and we will ensure that we do that. I would like hon. Members to know that we have many enemies out there. Therefore, we have to stand together and defend this House in order to do what we are required to do. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the previous Senate, I led an ad hoc committee to look into the state of prisons and issues affecting prisoners. We spent a lot of taxpayers’ money even to travel out of the country. We went to Sweden and also looked at the status of prisons in other European countries. We came back with recommendations that we wanted implemented back at home. Unfortunately, before we tabled that report in the House, we went to elections. I know the time of the committee has lapsed. If we are given an opportunity, we have a good report that can help this country in terms of transformation of prisons. That is something that we will be proud of as the Senate."
