    "content": "will support this to ensure that we do not go down as a 12th Parliament that was serving committees for its benefit. Today, we will have an extended sitting time to serve Kenyans. Because of the insinuations we have made against ourselves, the media has said that we have extended sitting time so that we can get more sitting allowance. For sure, if I were to be out of this House, I would be making more money than sitting here for an extra two hours. I am sure the same applies to all these Members. On the Committee on Appointments, I hope we will not end up with a situation where we will say we need more people to get experience in vetting of appointments. We do not know if there will be any appointment between now and the time we recess. It is difficult to reconstitute committees. When you reconstitute committees by moving Members around, you end up reconstituting the entire House. That is not an exercise that can take one week. It will take longer. I thank Members for having voted in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Going by the comments I heard, we were on the verge of saying that our leadership is not appreciated in this House. Hon. Members, I plead that we proceed with this and other changes. I, therefore, beg to move that we approve these names and ask my colleague, the Leader of the Minority party, to second."
