    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Vice-President, His Excellency, hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, who is also the Leader of Government Business, confirm whether political parties play a role in the deliberations of a committee or in its formation. Is it not at the stage of proposing names through the whips and after the names have been proposed and the committees have been constituted, then the political parties’ involvement ceases forthwith? Secondly, could he confirm that according to Standing Order No.175, the role of the Liaison Committee chaired by none other than the Deputy Speaker is actually to register a vacancy in a committee and to organize for the election of a chairperson to take place? Could the Vice-President confirm why the Liaison Committee failed to do so? They failed to do their duty! What can the Chair do when we, as chairs, fail to perform our duties?"
