    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. At the very outset, I want to thank hon. Abdikadir’s Committee for doing an excellent job. All of you heard that recently he was given an award in Germany for being one of the best African leaders. It is high time hon. Abdikadir was given an award in this country. If it is LBA or WG, he and his Committee deserve it. I am so happy that we are seeing in this Committee a substantial number of people from minority groups. For example, Mr. Thomas Letangule comes from a community in Baringo which has been marginalized for a very long time. So, it is an honour to this Committee and to Kenyans to give him a chance. We also have somebody from North Horr, the late hon. Godana’s constituency. This is the first time these people are being recognized. Of course, I can talk about the Chairman. I knew him when I was an officer of the Government in North Eastern Province during my former life. He is an excellent Chairman. He did a good job during by-elections. We want to have a Commission that does its job properly. The number of by-elections that we have had this year is a clear indication that the other Commission did not do a good job. So, we hope that they will do an excellent job. I totally support in every meaning of that word."
