    "content": "their choice of Chair. I also know some of the other members of this Committee. They are people who are committed to the service of this country. Therefore, I want to say that this is a list of people who deserve our support and I request every hon. Member here to support the selection of these people so that they can embark on work straightaway. The challenges ahead of us are very huge and need them to be on track to perform what they are supposed to do. There are other people who think that once a person has been elected and has served as a Member of Parliament, he has already developed biases and cannot be appointed to a position of responsibility in this country. However, I want to say that the people who are elected to this House are elected from the population of the communities of this nation. I would not want to see a situation where people find themselves disadvantaged after they leave this House and that they cannot be considered for selection to other positions in society. Members of Parliament have acquired considerable experience, people who have served this country as Members of Parliament or Ministers are also capable of assuming other positions. They should be given opportunities like other Kenyans to serve in this nation. I know that every Member of this House has the capacity to serve this nation. We may have developed our own bias in the course of our duty and we must put these aside and serve this nation with impartiality. That is really what is expected of this Committee. I have no doubt, whatsoever, that this Committee will do a good job, it will serve this nation impartially at the end of the day, we will be better off than we are today. With those few remarks, I support."
