"content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I will take two minutes. First of all, I want to thank hon. Members â those who served in the last Parliament and those who have been elected by the people of Kenya again to serve in the Eleventh Parliament. However, I want to bring to the attention of the hon. Members just two things. This Commission, unlike other commissions, is a political commission that ought to be a trade union in every aspect. I want to appeal - and I do not want to repeat what actually happened in the last Parliament â that the commission cannot work without your support. If you look at the provisions of Article 127 as read with Articles 94 and Article 124 that clearly defines the role of the Member of Parliament and the role of the Commission, you will realise that this Commission represents the interests of the Members of Parliament and members of staff and you are the engine. You are the drivers. I want to assure, on behalf of the would-be Commissioners subject to your nomination that we will lift your expectations. We will work very hard. I know there are very serious contentious issues right now. I have never believed that somebody can dare call a human being a pig. It is an issue that we must address and we must do so from the Floor of this House. That is because none of us can ever qualify to be called a pig. I felt so bad this morning when somebody sought the new definition of a Member of Parliament."
