    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Members elected to lead committees as Chairpersons and Vice- Chairpersons. Having been one for two terms, I remind my colleagues that this is a huge responsibility bestowed upon them. It is important for the Chairpersons to take committee work very seriously. A lot of work is done in the committees. Sometimes, what comes here on the Floor of the House is voted for by Members even without understanding the concept or the content. So, it is upon the Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons to ensure that when a subject comes here for discussion, especially the Finance Bill, it is understood. Last time, a lot of politics played in and outside this House. That is why Kenyans really took offence to the Finance Bill. I hope that since we have now come to the second half of our term or tenure, we will be objective and that we are going to ensure we communicate well to the public. These positions come with a lot of responsibility. Our colleague's House, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, was burnt.
