    "content": "as the Member for Suba, you know who declared you the winner. For me, I know who declared me the winner. This is a small matter. It is a matter that was before the Committee on Selection which I chair but, of course, yesterday, it was chaired by the Majority Whip. It has a membership from both sides of the coalitions. An agreement was reached. Every Committee of this House is important; whether you are in Committee of Health, Education, Lands or Energy. There are no so-called very juicy Committees. There is no Committee that is juicy than the other. If there are there, then it is the Members of that Committee who will make it juicy. But the Standing Orders are very clear. There are Standing Committees and Select Committees. Each and every Member of this House has a role to play. His or her oversight role is in being a Member of a Committee and because we have our latest entrants - hon. Kuria to serve in the Energy Committee and hon. Karuiki to serve in the Education Committee. Of course, there are many other opportunities for our two hon. Members to serve in other Committees and other bodies that are affiliated to other Parliamentary bodies across the world. This is a small matter and we should not dwell much on it. I ask my colleagues that this is not an issue that should take us long. I am sure hon. Kariuki is capable of serving in that Committee: Likewise, the last baby of the Jubilee Coalition, the Member for Gatundu South."
