    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura cannot get away with this. He is living in an age which is gone. The official opposition existed at the time when we had a parliamentary system. We now have a presidential system where the Senate as Chamber is a distinct organ of Government. The minority and majority are supposed to put the Government of the day in check. The executive is not in this House. In fact, Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura once used to associate with the official opposition when we had a parliamentary system. However, when we came to the presidential system, he for very good reasons left the party that he used to support. I agreed with him because there was no longer an official opposition. There was only a minority and majority and no executive in the Chamber. Is he right to say that there is no official opposition when I know he has been serving that role quite well? Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the issues of Kiambu County came here, he took a very strong stand. He was being cheered out in the streets there. I saw Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura for the first time being carried shoulder high and he seemed to enjoy it."
