    "content": "The Parliament of Kenya has been an active member of the commonwealth and constitutes the CPA, Kenya branch which comprises all Members of Parliament, that is, the Senators as well as members of the National Assembly, who opt to join and pay an annual membership fee of Kshs500 only or a life membership fee of Kshs2,000 as per the branch rules. So, if you pay for life membership, you save Kshs500 for one term and you are a member for ever even if you cease to be a Member of Parliament or a Senator. Therefore, you will have access to facilities when you go to the Westminster or to the House of Commons. You can access the lounges there and other things. I am sure Sen. Kajwang can confirm that. The management of the affairs of the branch is vested in the executive committee whose members are elected at the general meeting that is called after a general election. We have convened a meeting to elect branch officials – Kenya branch, on Tuesday at 11.00 a.m. at a joint Kamukunji. So, I am inviting all of you to attend, but even before then, you can only attend as a member. So, I am also encouraging you to pay the requisite fees. There should be a form outside this room where you can do so. I would really encourage each and every Senator, once we decide to take this position, we must also make sure that we participate in all things that will help and promote parliamentary democracy."
