    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this report on the Procedure and Rules Committee concerning the Standing Orders of the National Assembly and the Senate. Let me also commend the committee under your chairmanship for having come up with these Standing Orders for both Houses and definitely it has been a real commitment for the Committee to quickly come up with the Report. So, all I know is that under your chairmanship, many things have happened and already we are prepared for the two Houses because we were wondering what would happen if we have the Senate and the National Assembly and already the rules concerning the Senate were not in place, but now it so. It is a big commendation and Kenyans owe you quite a lot on this. For some of us who I know are going to be in the Eleventh Parliament, we shall really be remembering what steps you have done. We also look forward to your guidance even in the Eleventh Parliament. However, one thing that comes up because I do not want to repeat what others have said, most questions that have been asked and we are trying to belabour them in our minds is that we know we are going to have the ladies who will be elected as county representatives and those who will be elected from the constituency. The other day, they were asking: In terms of supremacy, who carries more weight in terms of the elective constituency? I am sure in considering some of the Standing Orders, it is good also to find out what would happen when such things come up within the social intercourse as far as the hon. Members are concerned. I support and I wish the Committee the best in this year."
