    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Gikaria was a member of the county council. Recently I saw him fighting on the Floor of the House. Little did I know that this knowledge was gathered from the county council. I think this is part of the history that we need to learn. That said, this Motion is long overdue. No doubt, the history of legislation in Kenya dates back to the colonial era when the Legislative Council was created. If I am not wrong, it had its first sitting on 17th August 1907. And the first Speaker was Sir Humphrey. This is history that we need to learn and appreciate. The first issue they discussed was to abolish the aspect of slavery. As a country, it is important we learn history, understand where we are coming from, where we are and where we are going. Unless we make the right recommendation at the right time, we will not be in a position to understand where we are coming from. We will not be in a position to do correct evaluation of our performance if we do not have the right documentation. That said, to rightly, contribute on the Floor of this House, we must have documentation done, and Members improving through these documentations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the Government sector and non-state actors, performance contract is signed between staff and their supervisors. We however do not have signed performance contracts between our electorates and us. Our performance on the Floor of this House in terms of the contribution as well as development ought to be documented so that when our electorates go through our performance, they can then understand that this Member is performing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
