Samwel Chepkonga","speaker":null,"content":" Yes, I am a Chairperson, Hon. Speaker. I have also noted this with some concern. While I was a commissioner with the Parliamentary Service Commission, we obligated all the members of staff to sign something called “performance contracts.” All committee chairpersons and vice-chairpersons should know that they are on performance contracts. It is a shame that we expect members of staff to have different performance standards as opposed to those of the leadership of the House. I was in the 11th Parliament and I hardly remember a day in which the quorum Bell was rung at 2.30 p.m. It did not matter whether were not being paid sitting allowance, which was just a small amount of money."}
