    "content": "The second issue that we need for clarity because Members of this House are respected; this House commands a lot of respect across the country. When we summon Members of the national or county governments, they come because they know that when Senate asks you questions, it is not the kind of hop-scotch games they play in the National Assembly. So, we need to be told, because we summoned the Cabinet Secretary for Health and many other officers, and this process is not beginning now for the first time. What happened to the earlier process? That is the only way we will be able to convince these Members that we are not engaging in a process in vain but that we are serious. Members of the Committee on Education will tell you that we were deeply embarrassed when you brought this issue. Remember the Senate removed all this money and when we brought it up in mediation, Members from the “Lower House” could tell us, what you are telling us is hearsay or do have a report to the effect of what you are saying that the Senate resolved? Sen. Olekina, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and I, could only look at each other in embarrassment and look down at our shoes because we had no answer for them. So, we need to be told by the leadership of that Committee and the leadership of the House what happened to the earlier process and what will prevent this process from moving the same way. I want to applaud the leadership for taking this wise step and I second this Procedural Motion by Sen. Malalah. Thank you."
