    "content": "Generally, we need to look into the matter of independence again. You cannot be independent when you just want to be in committees and then you are not independent when there are serious fundamental issues of the country. You are with either the minority or the majority. There are independents on our side here, like Hon. Fatuma alias Full Network who is the Woman Representative for Migori. However, she is an ODM Member by all intents and purposes. She votes with us and comes to our Parliamentary Group Meeting. Hon. Shakeel Shabbir is also independent. He is an ODM Member by all intents and purposes. So, just say your Member did not get the lucrative committees like the Budget and Appropriations Committee or the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure that Members are looking for. Not everybody can get. My plea to your ruling is that you go broader and look at the whole issue of independence. How independent are independents? With those few remarks, I submit."
