    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the Member for Kajiado North Constituency is my very good friend who served as a Member of the County Assembly of Kajiado. He has clearly read out the Standing Orders. I will choose to ignore the invocation of my name, which is now a soft spot for those who have nothing else to speak about except Kimani Ichung’wah. I know why he is invoking my name, but I will restrict myself to the provisions of the Standing Orders. The Standing Orders make it clear that a Member shall serve on a Committee unless otherwise resolved by the House. Therefore, I implore the Member for Kajiado North Constituency that instead of carelessly invoking the name of Kimani Ichung’wah who is not the Chief Whip of the Majority Party, he should spend time convincing the House to resolve otherwise. The Chief Whip of the Majority Party is called Hon. Silvanus Osoro. My friend, go and do such things in the County Assembly of Kajiado, and not in the National Assembly. Spend your time in the National Assembly discussing matters of greater importance to the people of Kajiado North who are suffering without roads, and whose children cannot even go to school because their Member of Parliament is busy following people in some other villages somewhere. Why not follow your constituents and address their issues? I will not allow any Member to use my name to seek cheap publicity. Our Standing Orders are very clear, and Hon. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
