I know that first-time Members are sometimes a bit resentful when we consider ranking, but they will appreciate it when they come for their second term. I can see some of them coming back for their second terms. When they come for their second terms, they will appreciate it when a new Member is given priority over them. There is something that goes with ranking, even in the legal profession. That is why you will always hear the substantive Speaker, sometimes, putting us in our place when we purport to know too much. He reminds us that, legally, he is our senior. Everybody knows that. This Bill is a testament to the fact that being a nominated Member is not bad. Hon. Mayaka and Hon. Asige are nominated Members, and they are doing excellent work. I also started as a nominated Member. I am now serving my fourth term. Hon. Cecily Mbarire also started as a nominated Member. She is now a county governor. There is nothing wrong with being a nominated Member. Even Hon. John Mbadi served in the current Parliament as a nominated Member. He is now a Cabinet Secretary. I do not know why people have the perception that only women are nominated to Parliament. I want to congratulate the two"
