"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am guided by your direction. Allow me to remind this House that on 25th June, 2024, when this House was invaded by young people, everybody else took off, including Members of the National Assembly. Yesterday in a conversation with the Senate Majority Leader, I reminded him that the decision that the Senate took to stay on course and confront issues as they were to a very great extent saved this country. We should never shy away from confronting our realities. Even when there are serious conflicts, we should never shy away from confronting our realities. We are the “Upper House”. That is what we pride ourselves to be. When the Senate speaks, the country should listen, the President should listen, the opposition should listen. When the Senate speaks, every other leader in this country should listen to what we are saying. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am guided by your direction, that maybe we need to bring a Motion to discuss these issues or maybe not. The truth of the matter is that we have an opportunity as a Senate to bring the temperatures down and make sure that the country moves in the right direction. I thank you."

The period of 30 days is long because matters that have been presented by the Committee are very critical."

"content": "We have heard from the Committee that county vehicles are branded with names of individual leaders. The notion is that those properties belong to individuals. When I was a Member of the Mediation Committee recently when we had the issue of division of revenue, we tried to arrive at a mediated amount. From where I sat, I could notice Members of the National Assembly arguing and saying that the money was going to be given to governors. As Senators, we had to correct them that the money was not going to be given to individual governors. That is taxpayers funding that should be utilised as per the law. Projects that need to be done should be done not for a particular governor or leader, but for the people of that region. Monies that we give to the counties and what we have always advocated in terms of late disbursement sound like they are being given to certain persons to control The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
