"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your intervention. I thought this was a ranking Member and if there is nothing out of order, I wonder why he was interrupting. I wanted to appreciate the Committee chaired by you, Hon. Speaker. Apart from this Report, I still remember that this is the Committee that has also seen the translation of the Standing Orders from English to Kiswahili. I think this is a commendable job and it shows good progress and good concern for what is happening in this House, which actually affects the entire nation. I know the Report has taken a lot of work. Being one of the Committee members, it is good to appreciate all the Members who have contributed and brought forth the amendments. The Committee is sometimes being ably chaired by your Deputy, Hon. Cheboi. I would like to appreciate this Report for the section that may not look very attractive to most Members, that is, the concept of having Members’ data and details kept accurately and elaborately by the House. I think it is good that the public knows who their leaders are, including details and data on education, social standing and other accomplishments so that when the details of a Member of the House are required anywhere, the House can ably give that information without hesitation. I pray that Members who will be coming back in the next election continue in the same spirit and continue to review and make better our Standing Orders and rules and regulations that govern this House. This is so that the debates that come out of this House can always enhance the true stature of our august House and be inspirational even to the young people that are out there who are also wishing to be one day like the Hon. Speaker who is seated right there. Otherwise, I support this Report and I highly commend the team that has worked on it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
