The Standard: What’s the biggest achievement of the Senate over the past nine months?

Ethuro: I think we have achieved a lot. First, we must understand where we began. This is an institution which is being re-enacted after 50 years. It is basically establishing structures. Even as we speak, we are still in our temporary offices at Kenyatta International Convention Centre. Our offices are still under construction. But we have been able to generate about ten Bills, some are under consideration, some are yet to go for first reading. These are Bills generated by individual senators.
