    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, do not ask me, I will remind you again. For the sake of my good friend, Mr. Kabando wa Kabando, the issue is not that we are complaining because it 1022 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 14, 2008 was big enough. So, how do you fail to be in the big one? But if it was small, we would agree. Two, when you go to my home district, you would have to look at who is in that place. When you go to Ukambani you have to look at who is that place so that the appointment will be based on merit. This is to say this is the best from that particular place. So, just because a Member happens to be in the mediation talks, does not mean he should be in the Cabinet. You see that all the Members who were in the mediation talks got a Ministry including the one of Nairobi Metropolitan Development which is competing with the City Mayor. This is what we want to abolish. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, we want to release this House from the frustrations of the House Business Committee. Many times, Members bring good Motions like this, which are overwhelmingly supported by the House, but the House Business Committee will not allocate time for us to bring that Bill. I want to give a notice, and the Deputy Chief Whip is here, that when we are ready, the proposed Bill should be given priority to be debated so that it does not elapse. We want to do it and I will be there to make sure that we will do it while we are still alive. With those few remarks, I want to thank each and every Member for supporting this Motion and I beg to move."
