    "content": "Hon. Members, before the Vice-Chairperson takes to the Floor, I just want to again make an observation. We have taken this business very casually. If you look at the list of the constituencies here, they are eight constituencies. In some, the names being put in are seven, others one, others three and another four. In fairness, you know these are members in your constituency committees, but you cannot even pay attention to that. I mean, how reckless or careless can one be? You have looked at the Order Paper. For instance, I know the Member for Ainabkoi was here, but he took off. I saw the Member for Bomet East more than two hours ago walk out because she had finished her day's sitting. But here are people who are supposed to come and approve names, which have come from her constituency and yet, she can easily come later and say one of those names was sneaked in. You as a Member of that constituency, I hope this is so important that you should be present even if you do not pay attention to anything else. Even if it is just to say Aye or Nay, even if that is the only reason you come here. For the business about names of people to sit in your constituency development committee, how do you walk away and leave others? You are leaving the Member for Emuhaya to pass them for you. He had his first and he was present here because it is important to him. Now, the Member for Buuri Constituency has not even shown up today. The Member for Dagoretti North has not shown up even this afternoon. Definitely, I know all of you Members. Member for Dagoretti South has not shown up this afternoon. Member for Eldama Ravine was seated there. The immediate former Chair of this Committee, names from his constituency are being brought, but he wants Prof. Oduol to just come and approve them. Do you know them? Why are they being approved? When you are told this one is a youth and this one is representing people with disability, are you able to confirm yourself when those Members themselves are not here? How will you tell that this one… We may approve those names and the Members come and say: “No, the one who is shown to have been disabled actually The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
