    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was in the process of thanking the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, who has moved this Motion. On the Minority side, I thank our leaders led by the Senate Minority Leader, and the Senate Minority Whip. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to go on record that when this Motion was on the Floor yesterday, this side requested that we have an informal discussion which we did. We made a number of recommendations but unfortunately, maybe because of the wisdom of our leaders, they have not been incorporated. One of them was a proposal that our Senior Counsel Prof. Ojienda should have found his name as a nominee in the Committee of Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. He is a very respected lawyer, a former President of Law Society of Kenya (LSK), a former President of the East African Law Society (EALS), a former LSK representative in the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and a distinguished Professor of law, Mr. Deputy Peaker, Sir, I saw the initial list and the name of Prof. Tom Ojienda was there, but some miracle has happened and what has been read to us did not have the name. When you have leadership, you need to be magnanimous and to put service ahead of personal interests. The Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot will go far because he has demonstrated that he is magnanimous. I have gone through the Members serving in Committees and he has not allocated himself even one Committee."
