    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have listened to my good brother Sen. Cheruiyot and I can see his body demeanor, very passionate about the issues in Laikipia just like anybody else that has spoken here. What I want to inform him is that, first I must confess that I am a Member of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. Most of the Committees of Parliament are impotent. We are not doing anything in those Committees. We were supposed to meet the security leadership teams in this country yesterday and today. Committees schedule meetings just for the chairpersons to postpone them without consultations. We do not know the deals that are being cut behind the scenes, and some of us are left waiting. We must be serious with what we want to do, as a Parliament. The oversight authority of this House has been taken from us and that could be as a result of having leaders who were nominated by the Executive. There is a reason we have to ask ourselves if we are serving the interest of Kenyans. I feel that we are not doing so."
