    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to apologise on behalf of my team but I think we have failed as a country in the fact that Kenya is a great country. We are regarded by all our neighbours and the continent as a leader and for us to be talking about our membership today when the other countries have already forwarded their Members, it is a bit embarrassing. I would beseech my brothers and sisters – the Members of Parliament – to expedite and make this decision. Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is only about two months ago that there was a speaker’s conference in the PAP and I happened to have been in South Africa, thanks to your good grace that I was there. So, on the problems that we are going through as a country, I feel that we need to very quickly expedite and finish with the matter so that Kenya can take its rightful place in the PAP as quickly as possible. We have issues that need to move, from the African Heads of State agenda that was there last month that needs to go to the PAP for legislation and many others. If we do not get our people and the right quality of people there that can actually legislate at that level, we will be making a big mistake. I beg to basically urge my colleagues to expedite and make that decision but take good and capable men and women who can represent and speak for this great nation. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir."
