Temporary Speaker, just for clarity, these changes are accommodating the two new Members sworn-in at the beginning of this Session. You know our Standing Orders require that all Members of Parliament sit in at least in one Committee. The Committee on Selection and House leadership on both sides have endeavoured to ensure that all Members of Parliament are in at least one Committee. As per the Standing Orders, no Member of Parliament sits in more than two Departmental Committees. Because we could not constitute Committees without the requisite numbers for those Committees that have15 members, we put some Members in more than two Committees – Departmental and Select Committees. We put some in two Departmental Committees and some in two Select Committees to hold the two positions of the two members—the Member for Kandara and the Member for Garissa Township, whose elections were held early in January because the former Members of those constituencies had been appointed to the Cabinet.
