    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I wish to just remind you that the Standing Orders were drafted in the Tenth Parliament and most of those who did it did not consider or foresee the amount of work that would be done by the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with the additional five Committees, first of all, I want to assure Members here that it will be possible to distribute positions, because some Members have been complaining about being pushed into a certain Committee and they want another. With the five additional Committees, it will be easy now to accommodate Members. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for those who have joined Parliament for the first time, you have realized now that it is not the number of Committees that matters, but the amount of work that you do. It is not just about pushing to be put in two or three committees. You have seen the amount of work that it takes. Many times, you will find that there is no quorum in most of the Committees since they sit at the same time. So, this time with all due respect, we tried to focus on two committees per Member, because everybody will be accommodated. By doing so, we will do our work effectively and deliver services to wananchi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
