    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that I am very grateful to the Members who supported this Motion and especially those who have personal knowledge and may have worked with the two individuals. I am sure you have learnt that these are very distinguished Kenyans who are fully qualified and have vast experience to contribute to the work of the Parliamentary Service Commission. It is true that Dr. Ali actually joined the Parliamentary Service Commission at a time when there was a lot of clamour for independence of Parliament and especially improvement of the welfare of Members of Parliament. It is at that time that together with other Members mentioned like hon. Oloo Aringo, hon. Angwenyi, hon. Keynan and the rest, they steered the PSC. Therefore, Dr. Ali is again rejoining the Parliamentary Service Commission, at a very interesting time when the Parliamentary Service Commission is not only serving one House but it is now serving two Houses, and there has been jostling for resources especially now that the Senate is very new and requires a lot of support. While every Member may be agitating for the House he comes from, I think Dr. Ali and Mumelo, will bring sanity, as said by Sen. Hargura. Dr. Ali could also advise and talk about his experience thus bringing the two sides together and help us at the Senate because there are various issues that could have moved faster had there been a better way of looking at the issues of the Senate. I hope these two will positively contribute to this. I do not want to take a lot of time and would like to say thank you very much to the Committee on Health, Labour and Social Welfare. Thank you very much to the Members who saw it fit to support and adopt this report. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
