    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really wanted to say something on this issue because I think it is extremely important. I think we cannot conclude without thanking both Whips for what they have done. It is important to realize that recently, they were awarded the honour of the Elder of the Golden Heart (EGH). I think the President saw something good in them because they have done a good job. In fact, if you asked me, I will say they even deserve to be called Deputy Principals because they can do a very good job on that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are several issues which were raised--- Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there are several issues which were raised which are extremely important. One of the issues is that it is extremely important for one to resign any other position that the chairman has in any other Committee. I think that is extremely important and I fully support it. I think Mr. Midiwo talked about politics in committees. It is extremely important for us to understand that we must at all times leave politics out of Parliamentary committee work. That is the only way we are going to be cordial in terms of ODM and PNU and we are going to be professional in whatever we do. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we move on I want to say that there are some committees, in fact, most of the committees which are going to be very instrumental in this House. One of them is the Committee that I am in. That is the Committee on Implementation. This Committee will be keeping the Ministers in this House on their toes. If a Minister comes to this House and makes a promise to any Member of Parliament, our Committee will be watching what the Minister is saying. I can tell you for sure that if they make a promise which they do not fulfil, we are going to be on their back. So it is extremely important. I had to say that because it is very nice and we want to keep them on their toes. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
