    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this important Motion. I felt that it is high time that the SBC agrees on coming up with an Implementation Committee when I heard of the backlog of Bills that have stagnated in the other House. We need an Implementation Committee that will follow up on the issues and recommendations that this particular Senate makes in various Committees. We made recommendations on the ad hoc Committee on maize. I am sure that those recommendations are lying idle on the shelves. If we have such a committee, it will help this House achieve its objectives. Sen. Murkomen said that we still have two and a half years for serious business. However, I know that we will not do much during the last year of our term. We do serious businesses in this House and our resolutions should be implemented. This Committee should consider having the formation of an Implementation Committee as one of its first serious businesses. The strength of this Senate depends on all of us. We are fortunate to have Sen. Haji and Sen. Wako as members of the BBI taskforce. It is a shame that issues to do with the Senate were not given prominence in the BBI. Sen. Cherargei has said that we do have BBI one and BBI two. However, I believe that we still have BBI one, the Bomas Draft. That is what we will follow to the letter. We need to have a retreat or a ‘kamukunji’ for us to discuss our share, as a Senate, in the BBI. Otherwise, we shall be cooks who will prepare food, but have no share of it at the end of the day. The SBC should consider those two issues. I support."
