    "content": "Sen. Esther Anyieni Okenyuri, MP b) Health- Sen. Esther Anyieni Okenyuri, MP c) Trade, Industrialization and Tourism: Sen. Danson Mungatana, MP Pursuant to Section 15 (1) (b) (ii), of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, and Standing Order No. 199, the Senate approves the nomination, by the Senate Business Committee, of Senator Esther Anyieni Okenyuri, MP, to serve in the Committee on Powers and Privileges. Pursuant to Standing Order Nos. 194 and 199, the Senate approves the nomination, by the Senate Business Committee, of Senator James Kamau Murango, MP, to serve in County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a straightforward matter that arose from Sen. Soipan Tuya resigning from the Senate because of her appointment to the Cabinet. Therefore, it created this slot in our committees. The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) nominated Sen. Anyieni Okenyuri to join the Senate to replace Sen. Soipan. She has duly been sworn in and is now a colleague Senator like the rest of all of us. It is unfair for her to continue being a Senator without enjoying the duties of serving in our Committees. Therefore, the Senate Business Committee approved her to become a Member of the two committees. There is additional vacancy because Sen. Murkomen resigned. We are still consulting further, amongst the Majority side on how to fill the vacancy. In the meantime, we have proposed Sen. Mungatana to serve in the Trade, Industrialisation and Tourism and Sen. James Kamau Murango to serve in the County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee in place of Sen. Murkomen. Since these are important committees whose quorum is important, I do not expect debate on this matter because this is a packed afternoon. We have three important Motions that we need to consider. I beg to move and request Sen. Cherarkey to second."
