    "content": "Laikipia East, JP): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. One thing that is clear is that these changes have been envisaged as a result of whipping and de- whipping of Members by the party leadership. A period of one month will enable them to reach out to the leadership of various parties, and particularly the leadership of the House, so that they can look at the critical membership of various committees. I think the one month period that has been provided will give Members time to reconcile with their parties and the party disciplinary committees, so that they maybe de-whipped or may have to explain themselves, like in the case of the Members for Gatundu, Kimilili and others. Further to that, I seek the indulgence of the various Whips to consider the disparities that have been in existence. There are certain Members who sit in three committees while some sit in only one committee. That disparity has been there for the last three or two-and-a-half years that we have been in this House. So, I advise the various Whips to critically look at the disparities that exist in the membership of committees. I urge the Whips to also consider one’s experience so that they place individuals with expertise in certain disciplines in committees they can offer relevant The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
