    "content": "If their recommendations are not binding, then they have got a huge duty to justify their existence in the minds and eyes of the public in Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate Sen. Omogeni and the other lawyers who are representing this House in other matters before the courts. Finally, I congratulate our staff. We never take time to mention them or laud them. We have a very dedicated team of people in the legal and litigation department. They do a great job under difficult circumstances. I wish the commissioners were in this House today. We have heard reports that sometimes when we need to get lawyers for the Senate to prosecute a matter in court, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) will plead that there is no budget for that. Shame on them! The PSC must remember that it represents a bicameral system. It represents the Senate and the National Assembly. Senate matters should not be treated as secondary issues. Our staff has done a great job even when the PSC has refused to avail funds to represent the Senate."
