    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to begin by saying that I support the Motion. Indeed, I have also looked at the Public Investments Committee (PIC) reports of the time that dealt with the issue as reported at that time by the Controller and Auditor-General. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am going to make a few amendments, while agreeing with my good friend, hon. Wetangula, that as the Committee does its investigations and recommendations, there will be need for them to address the question of lapsed time in terms of the Limitations of Actions Act so as to direct that any findings which require to be pursued by way of litigation, be done with leave being sought from the courts for prosecution and/or recovery to be made out of time. I believe that there are very good reasons that can be found to explain why there may have been this delay. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only want to appreciate that as the proposed Committee is comprised, it appears like the other side of the House is not included, and it is only fair that in order for a Committee of this nature to have ownership, it should be composed of membership from both sides of the House. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- By deleting all the names proposed to comprise the membership of the Committee and inserting the following names in place thereof: (1) The Hon. Joe Khamisi, MP (2) The Hon. Lucas Maitha, MP (3) The Hon. P.K. Sang, MP (4) The Hon. J. Ojode, MP (5) The Hon. A.A. Bahari, MP (6) The Hon. W. Osundwa, MP (7) The Hon. Dr. N.N. Shaban, MP (8) The Hon. Zaddock Syongo, MP (9) The Hon. N. Balala, MP (10) The Hon. M. Mukiri, MP (11) The Hon. M.K Waithaka, MP Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I propose the inclusion of the 11th person to comply or to be in tandem with the composition of most Departmental Committees of the House where membership is limited to 11 members. I beg to move and ask hon. Ojode to second."
