    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion because the IPU initiative that is going to take place here is a privilege. Many countries are competing for that initiative. For us to be awarded the opportunity to host the seminar is a very honourable thing. That is particularly so because of the image. It is very difficult to build an image, but it is very easy to destroy it. That is exactly what we did between December, 2007 and January, 2008. It is very unfortunate. You can only realise that when you go out of this country. Everybody associates you with what happened here. That is something that was terribly wrong. We set a very bad example. We should, therefore, move with speed and be present there. We need to participate and provide leadership in that forum. I would also like to mention something about the timetable of Parliament. It is extremely crucial that the House Business Committee (HBC) re-looks at what they do. It is not a ceremonial matter for the HBC to sit for thirty minutes and then walk out. It must present a proper schedule of what this Parliament will achieve for the benefit of the people of Kenya. It is extremely important that the HBC comes up with a proper schedule of what this Parliament can achieve within a specific time. I can see the Leader of Government Business is here. I do not think it has achieved much. I beg to support that we participate in the IPU seminar."
