    "content": "That is why he was being referred to as a junior senator. But, the two ideas will go hand in hand. Even if we were to discuss them, we should not ignore that aspect. There are Members who have interest in speaking generally. Even those, you do not deny them the opportunity to speak generally because there are people who like speaking generally. They will have their opportunity by placing a request like any other Member. We would have to balance those two ideas. Our sheer numbers and the number of hours we sit are things we need to look into. We could say that in Kenya, we are too busy so that after 7.00 p.m. we are incapable in Parliament. How is it that it happens in other Houses in other parliaments of other jurisdictions? How is it that in other parliaments, they are able to hold sittings on Monday morning? I am sure if we were to say that we have a sitting here on Monday morning, I would receive a lot of protest. That is because over 95 per cent of Members will say that they will be very busy in the constituencies. Those are the days you meet your constituents. Some of these things are realities of our country. It is a kind of a political socialisation that we have been given over the years. When we discuss these issues, let us discuss all of them, Dr. Oundo. None of the proposal is new. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
