    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, while appreciating that great assistance in reading this list, I sincerely hoped that the House can agree, in the spirit that has been demonstrated the whole of this afternoon. I know that all the 222 of us can make able Members of any Parliamentary Select Committee. I know that the fact that we have now put in place the new Standing Orders, you may have Communication to make in that regard, but what we have done this afternoon will not take off unless we put in place this Parliamentary Select Committee. Hon. Members will appreciate that this is actually a tremendous success on their part. The two Speaker's Kamukunjis that took place were able to bring out the sincere feelings of hon. Members of this House. I hope hon. Members have realised that this is in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, which was passed earlier, and which received Presidential assent. Otherwise, it would not have been technically possible to move this Motion and the Amendment Bill that has gone through, because it would require Presidential assent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the House Business Committee met this morning, at 11.30 a.m. The Whips have done the best they can. It is also the wish of the party leaders. It is important for me to point out that the party leaders have been consulted over this matter, and we think it is possible for us to agree, because this is now a purely Parliamentary Select Committee. I think all of us will be able to relate to each of those hon. Members. With those remarks, I beg to move."
