    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to echo the sentiments of other Members that it is very important that we are represented at this very important Parliament. Since the beginning of the year because we had elections we have already missed a session. We had elections in March and so we missed a session. This session that is beginning now, if we do not send our Members for swearing in, we are likely to miss another session again. This means that we will be mission one-and-a-half years. Members of this Assembly know that there is a very important Motion on Kenya that was agreed in Addis Ababa and is now before the Pan African Parliament. It is important for Kenyans to be there as that Parliament discusses this Motion. This underscores the urgency or the need really to send Members to the Pan African Parliament as soon as we possibly can. This House has a responsibility to this country not to have empty chairs in the Pan African Parliament as it debates issues. Hon. Speaker, Members of both the Senate and the National Assembly have been proposed in this list to go to the Pan African Parliament. There has been an argument about age. I know that Senator Murkomen is not an octogenarian. I see Millie here and she does not look to me like she is an octogenarian. I see hon. Shebesh is not an octogenarian. The Member who said that there needs to be a good mix in this team that represents us at the Pan African Parliament was right. This is because we have hon. Zakayo Cheruiyot who brings in experience from the previous times."
