    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion and note that all this legislation that was passed before the new constitutional dispensation, as we speak now, is being amended to conform to the new constitutional dispensation. We also find that even though the Standing Orders have been drafted after the new Constitution, they did not take into account the fact that the House would have a wider membership. Now that we are 349 Members with different capacities that must be utilized in this House, it is important that these rules are amended so that each and every Member gets an opportunity to serve the people of Kenya whom we swore to serve when we sought the ticket to come to this House. I also find that the 15 men and women who sat in that Committee made a unanimous decision which is good. I commend them for working within a tight schedule and bringing these amendments to the House."
