    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Allow me to congratulate you on being elected Speaker of this House. I want to address the issue of Committees. It is the reason why most Members are standing near our Whip. We heard what the Leader of the Majority Party said. We have seen the lists. From what I have seen the opposite side is organised but our side is a bit disorganised. That is why we have meetings. House Business is conducted through committees. I am a Member who has been a Chairperson of a Departmental Committee. When we see Members who are not in any Committee or only one Committee, we are not pleased as representatives of the people. The people who elected us need to see us being effective and participating in Committees. I hope our leadership will listen to us. I request all Members of Azimio to retreat with immediate effect to go through this list. I want to request the leadership of this House to be fair when nominating Members to the various Committees. I will not speak a lot because we are retreating to go through these Committees and their membership. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
