    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I understand that in this House, we are all equal. We were brought to this House to represent our people. My votes were 48 times more than those garnered by the Senator from Lamu, but I also respect him. I thank the Members of this House for supporting this Motion. It is my first Motion and no one has opposed this Motion. I agree with Sen. Cherarkey that 80 per cent of the Senate work is done in the Committees. I would like the House to remember that when we conduct our business. Sen. Mbugua requested that we support the new Members so that they get experience from other Members who were here before. I thank Sen. Methu for highlighting that on the Kenya Kwanza side, disagreements bring about agreements even when someone has been removed from a Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Veronica Maina talked about the discomfort brought when someone is removed from a Committee. That discomfort has not been portrayed in this House. Kenya Kwanza is able to sit and agree once we have looked at the talent, profession and performance of every Senator. I also thank Sen. Wakili Sigei and Sen. Wafula for supporting this Motion. We were talking about the CPISF. When Sen. Wafula was thanking the Senator for being brought in this Committee, he also talked about the same Senator being put in the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT). Maybe, there was a little mix-up. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply."
