    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the procedural Motion on the Senators who will be appointed to serve in the Sessional Committees. Before I address myself to this Motion, allow me to this opportunity to send my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Amb. (Dr.) Wilfred Machage who until his demise was a High Commissioner to the Kenyan Embassy in Nigeria. On my behalf and that of my family and the people of Kakamega County, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Amb. Wilfred Machage. I also extend the condolences to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the people of Migori. He was a senior politician, public servant and a great nationalist. When I heard of his demise, I was saddened and shocked because it was a sudden death that no one expected. I pray to the Lord God to give the family strength during this difficult moment. Back to the Motion, I would like to support the Mover, the Leader of Majority for having come up with the Motion that we collectively support the Senators to serve in these Sessional Committees. I know my colleagues have had a vast experience in serving this House. I know they are capable of executing the mandate of these Committees, especially the CPAIC. This Committee meets nearly every day to deal with the report of Auditor General on how funds send to counties are utilized. I know Members in this Committee are dedicated and they have a good job. Therefore, there is no need of changing the membership of this Committee. Retaining them to serve in the same Committees is a wise decision that the leadership of this House has taken. I also want to congratulate the Members who have been nominated to serve in the Committee on Delegated Legislation. They have vast experience and they are conversant with the mandate of the Committee. It is good that we continue with the membership in the remaining period of our term. I urge them to make sure the legislative business of the House is well scheduled so the we concluded it before we end the session. This is a wise and well-organized thought that all of us should support. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Motion of the approval of the Senators to serve in this sessional Committees as ably moved by the Senate Majority Leader. I thank you."
