    "content": "up with a Bill since the two were Motions by Hon. Wamalwa in 2008 and by Hon. Malulu Injendi in the 11th Parliament. Let the Committee now give us a Bill which we can debate and put into an Act so that we can now get a cadre lower than a sub-chief to employ in the Civil Service who could either earn honoraria or earn some allowances, so that our village elders can have something to take home. I want to thank the Committee very much because it is being handled very well. For the first time, in the 11th Parliament where I served with Hon. ole Kenta, he will agree with me that this was one of the weakest Committees. Today, Hon. Kenta is comfortable to sit because the Report he has brought on the Floor of the House is very good and this is encouraging to all of us. We come to this House courtesy of Article 95 of the Constitution which gives us the power to legislate, represent and play oversight role. Every Wednesday morning has been a day set aside for Private Members’ Bills and Motions. Now we have set it aside for Thursdays. That means that all Members are happy and anxious to legislate on behalf of their voters. If you legislate and what we have put on legislation cannot be implemented, it is discouraging. Therefore, I want to encourage the Committee on Implementation that you are doing a good job. We will endeavor to support you, Hon. ole Kenta and your Committee to make sure that all the matters that shall have been debated on the Floor will be legislated in terms of Bills or Motions. What you will require from us, we will support you. I beg to support, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
