    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to second. The Members' Services and Facilities Committee is very important. Many Members do not want to serve in this Committee because they think it is just about mandazi and tea. This is the Committee that ensures that we have good facilities in Parliament, good tea and mandazi and that Parliament is hospitable. Last week, Hon. Paul Abuor, who serves in this Committee, came to my office. He shed tears, asking how he could only serve on the Members' Services and Facilities Committee. We had to assign him to a Departmental Committee. Members underrate this Committee. I remember the late Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo only served in this Committee in the 11th and 12th Parliaments. He used to say that he only wanted to serve on the Members' Services and Facilities Committee. In the last Parliament, one of the most distinguished Members who served in this Committee was none other than the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah. I remember that when the names of the Members who had been appointed to the Committee were being approved in the House, I told him that if my tea was not very good, he would be in trouble. He took up the task very well, and we had good tea. Members spend a lot of time away from their homes while in Parliament. They spend almost 12 to 13 hours a day working in Parliament. This Committee should do a good job and ensure that we work in a good environment and that lunch and tea are served on time. I beg to second."
