    "content": "of the National Assembly to discuss it. These amendments are things which should have been done a long time ago. Sometimes when you meet Members of the National Assembly, they try explaining to you what your role is. The other day, I was sitting with a Member of the National Assembly, and he was saying that the National Assembly enacts legislations while the Senate participates in the law making function. I consulted my senior, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and he said that the role of Parliament is in Article 94, which is very clear. Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir, I beseech you to find some time and sit down with the Speaker of the National Assembly and agree. When I came to this House, I was extremely active from the onset in making sure that I bring Business to this House and develop legislation. However, you get discouraged because--- I do not think that I would go the radical way of stalling their legislation, because these are things that affect Kenyans. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of milk is affecting every other Kenyan out there. As we continue with this, I beseech you to find some time and consult with your colleague."
