Patrick Makau","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand based on your first Communication on reconstitution of House committees and the election of chairmen and vice-chairmen. This is a House of traditions and rules. Hon. Adan Keynan served as a Commissioner during the 12th Parliament, and he was the Chairman of the Public Investments Committee at the same time. Placing Members in committees disadvantaged commissioners in the past. I was wondering if it is possible for a Commissioner to seek election as a chairman or vice-chairman in committees. I seek your indulgence and guidance."}
