    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. The feeling I have is that once again, we are always buying time and delaying very critical issues and matters like this where we are supposed to select, nominate and allow our Members to go and participate in the PAP. The truth is that Kenya as a country has an agenda as we speak. We believe that, that agenda should be articulated at the PAP. For us not to have our Members represent us at the PAP is very wrong. My request to my colleagues in this House is, like you have mentioned frequently, we need to take this House seriously. I know that sometimes we are held up over time and sometimes we are not ready. We need to start taking our affairs in this House very seriously. Two, the list which has been presented here, I am sure many of my colleagues in this House may not be happy with it. I would like to suggest that we agree amicably as friends. We should look at all the other issues which we need to take into consideration like gender, geographical distribution of the slots and if need be, any marginalisation which would lead us into correcting that situation. Even when I support this Motion and hope that we will immediately send some Members from this House to the PAP, we need to do it diligently, quickly, effectively and fairly, so that we can then continue with the normal business of the House and the normal business of the PAP can continue. With those many words, I support."
