    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is really like a procedural Motion. I stand to second the Motion and urge the House that the Motion be passed. In accordance with Standing Order No.184, the membership of the Committee is provided for in the Standing Order save for the Senators who do not occupy leadership positions. On account of some Members who are on the list who are not in the leadership positions, I want to give some information. There are some Members like the Senator for Narok County, Sen. Olekina and Sen. Kwamboka. They have hardly served for a full year because of the changes that were in the leadership on the Minority side. I hope that when we look at the committees, we will look at them globally. Even in some of the departmental committees, probably a closer scrutiny needs to be undertaken so that the membership of the Senate at the end of the day will have had a full experience of the business of the House especially through the committees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I wish to comment on the views of the Senate Majority Leader which are very fundamental. I agree with him fully except for what he said that there were glorious days for the Senate. The Senate has always been cursed. The very first Senate went through even worse experiences although when they were dissolved they were taken to the National Assembly and given some constituencies. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
