I have never had a very good working relationship with anyone like I do have with my Whip. Ordinarily, it was the Whip who should have forwarded the names but, because of some of his other commitments, I had to leave Homa Bay to come here. Actually, the Leader of the Majority Party called and said that I need to be here. I was supposed to be in Homa Bay for a very important function of the Catholic Church, but I had to leave home to come and sign off this list because my Whip was engaged elsewhere. I shared with him after I did that in the spirit of disclosure. Well, he had problem with one or two names which I am not going to mention, but we agreed that since I had already reappointed the same Members, it would be okay.
