    "content": "Hon. Speaker, before I sit down, now that we are going for recess, I am aware that we have had by-elections recently and we have three new Members from Bonchari, Kiambaa and Juja constituencies. They approached my office and requested that they participate in Committees. That request is pending for the formal nomination because it is a process that involves the Whips and the Committee on Selection and approval by the House, which may not take place between now and the time we go for recess. I have consulted with the Whips and we have agreed that I propose to you, Hon. Speaker, to use your powers under Standing Order No.1 to allow the following Members to participate, during the recess, in the proceedings of the following Committees and then we will do the formal rationalisation when we resume: - (i) Hon. Mohamed Ali Lokiru, who serves in the Departmental Committee on Energy; there is an intention to shift him to the Departmental Committee on Education and Research by his party and, therefore, he will participate in the Departmental Committee on Education and Research during the recess; (ii) Hon. Pavel Robert Oimeke of Bonchari Constituency, Departmental Committee on Energy; (iii) Hon. George Koimburi Ndung’u of Juja Constituency, the Special Funds Account Committee; and, (iii) Hon. John Njuguna Wanjiku of Kiambaa Constituency, Committee on Implementation. Hon. Speaker, I am sure you will guide the House accordingly regarding these Members."
