    "content": "With regard to members of the Speaker’s Panel, the hon. Member for Turkana Central is right that members of the Speaker’s Panel are six in total, beginning with I, elected by the whole House, and also the Deputy Speaker, also elected by the whole House. Then we have four Members who sit on the panel appointed on the basis of their gravitas. We have appointed these hon. Members because they merit that position. So, the six Members of the Speaker’s Panel are taken to be competent and fully qualified to handle the business of the House, which entails presiding over parliamentary business, including debate in the plenary. We have confidence in them. So, really, as far as I am concerned as your Speaker, any Member of the panel can preside over the business of the House. So, there is no such thing as like that Prof. Phillip Kaloki may not have been the right person, or that he was partisan. I think that does not arise, and it is just unfortunate. At any rate, even if you were to take the curriculum vitae of Prof. Phillip Kaloki and put it besides that of Dr. Bonny Khalwale, I think the jury will be out to determine who is stronger."
