    "content": "This being my maiden speech I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you and your deputy for being elected to lead this House. I also congratulate other hon. Members who have been given an opportunity to serve in the Eleventh Parliament. I want to thank the people of Lari who found me fit to serve them in this honourable House. I want to tell them that I am going to do my level best to represent them in this House. With regard to the Motion, I support the Procedure and House Rules Committee in its bid to increase the membership of various committees. Indeed, what hon. Cheboi and his group have done is to prevent a riot from the new Members of Parliament. What we had seen with the Committee on Selection was that a few committees that had already been formed was that most of its members the old Members of Parliament. Very few opportunities were given to the new Members of Parliament. Hon. Members were wondering why we went to a point of putting hon. Members in two committees. We are 349 Members of Parliament. We have formed about four committees, and you will find a Member or two, who have been recycled yet there are Members who have not been given an opportunity."
