    "content": "Hon. Members, in the good old days when we were in the National Assembly (NA), we had a session reserved for questions. When we opened Parliament to public transmission of proceedings that became the most watched part of the proceedings of this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that Wednesday mornings will be the most popular day in the calendar of this House every week. Sen. Onyonka was there. He remembers when he was the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs and I was the Assistant Minister in charge of the East African Community (EAC). The Assistant Ministers of the late President Mwai Kibaki were actually deputy Ministers. I appeal to Members that there is so much value in one raising a question on gold mining in Kakamega County directly to the CS in charge and him not only responding, but opening an avenue for the Senator of Migori County, for example, to ask a supplementary question on mining in the county. This is the point. We want to ask for more and get more. The saying goes to those whom more is given more is expected of them. I appeal that the usual headache of quorum when we open sessions should not remove the wind from our sails. We should try and be here. When I look at the median age of the members of this House--- What is the median age? It could be around 40 or 41."
