    "content": "a. Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs - to replace Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale b. Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations – to replace Sen. Kennedy Okong’o Mong’are Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not a Procedural Motion. Nevertheless, it is a fairly straightforward issue, in my view. But I want to persuade the Senators to approve the nomination of my brother and friend, Sen. Moses Wetangula, who insists that I should remind and tell everybody that he is my senior in the profession, which I gladly do. We have no problems in our profession in terms of recognizing our seniors. I want to emphasize that, only with a caveat that in this House, Sen. Moses Wetangula knows the pecking order; he is my junior. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason Sen. Boni Khalwale and Sen. Kennedy Mong’are took positions in those two Committees is because for a brief moment, Sen. Wetangula was not a Member of this House. He was out there struggling to recapture his seat and come back. I know that I am speaking to many Senators in this House. We are very happy that Sen. Wetangula came back to this House. This House is much richer with Sen. Wetangula and we want to welcome him back. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the proposal here is that now that he is back, he should be able to take his position in the two Committees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move this Motion and request Sen. Janet Ong’era, who is a Member of the Rules and Business Committee and also the Deputy Minority Whip to second."
