    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the issue raised by Hon. TJ Kajwang’ in respect to the Member for Westlands. I confirm that the issue of Hon. Tim Wanyonyi was raised in the House Business Committee yesterday under the Chairmanship of the Speaker. The Whip of the Minority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, who were in that Committee, confirmed on behalf of the Minority Party that they are looking into that issue. Let me also use this opportunity to confirm to Hon. TJ – I do not know whether he was here when I was speaking – that the Select Committee on Selection, which I chair, shall not sit only once in a whole session of the House. We shall continuously sit to ensure that we strike a fair balance for everybody. It is also good to mention that we have endeavoured to ensure that we strike a balance between new Members and those who are not very old. It does not matter whether I am serving my first or third term; I am a Member of Parliament. Therefore, I assure Hon. TJ and the Member for Westlands that that issue was raised in the House Business Committee yesterday and the Minority Leadership committed that as soon as we can sit – and we shall soon be sitting because of what we deleted in respect to the Procedures and House Rules Committee – we will look into his issues. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
