    "content": "on some of the things because the proposed members have not got a chance to speak. We make other sacrifices to be Members of the SBC. You have seen in other instances where Members argue that so and so is a member of four committees or has too many committees and they start with the SBC as if it is a regular Committee. Then you hear people saying, that Sifuna must now leave the Energy Committee and concentrate fully on the SBC, with all its lack of perks that I have described here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that my colleagues who have served in that Committee in the previous session have given their best in the service of this House. I am sure that their commitment is unwavering for us to be able to deliver the mandate of this House. Lastly, yesterday I was at a burial and the preacher who gave the preaching there said something profound to me; that life at its best is very short. I could not believe when I heard the news about Kelvin Kiptum that just when his career was taking off, just when he was becoming a global brand, just when everything looked up for him, we lost that young man in the most tragic of circumstances. I take this opportunity on my own behalf, on behalf of my family and on behalf of the ODM party for which I am the Secretary-General, to condole with the family of Kelvin Kiptum. We pray that God rests his soul in eternal peace. I thank you."
