    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to put my word on this debate. I have listened carefully to what Hon. Ochieng’ has raised. Some of the issues he has raised are valid and we need to address them as a House. That is because they affect the wellbeing of the Members of this House. But when I listened to Hon. Ichung’wah, I came to realise that the matter is bigger than – Somalis have a saying that says: The voice is bigger than what you think. I see that there are people who are trying to canvass for certain jobs that have been advertised. We cannot anticipate debate. We have to wait for the Commission to present their Report to the House and then give our views on it. For example, if it is about the job of the Clerk of the National Assembly, there are procedures that are followed for people to apply for that job. It is advertised both internally and externally. So, I do not think it is good or proper for us to anticipate debate. Anybody has a right to apply. If the Commission has not yet decided on the issue, let us give it time to make their decision then we will have our say here as a House. But lets us not jump the gun now and start debating an issue that has not been presented before us, as a House, which has to go to the Hon. Speaker for approval and brought here as a Motion. The Motion is not before us, as we speak now."
