    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the resolution of the House of 16th May, 2013, regarding appointment of Members to respective Committees, this House further approves the following changes to the membership of the following Select Committees:- 1. Hon. Peter Kaluma, MP, to be appointed to the Committee on Delegated Legislation 2. Hon. Asman Abongotum, MP, to move from the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. 3. Hon. Abass Mohamed, MP, to move from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. 4. Hon. Priscilla Gathecha, MP, to move from the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. 5. Hon. Peter Weru Kinyua, MP, to move from the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. This is the beginning of another set of adjustments that we are going to bring on Thursday where we want to balance the membership of the House from the two Coalitions. We want to go by the provisions of the Standing Orders, that every Member should be in two Committees, one departmental and one either standing or select. We have agreed, as the leadership, and the two Whips are working on the final list in which we will make sure that every Member is in two committees; it will be tabled in the House on Thursday afternoon. The two committees, namely the Committee on Administration and National Security and the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs are the only ones that will elect their chairs this afternoon. I will ask the House to approve the list and ask the Minority Whip to second this Motion."
