    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is a very short report. The business of that report is very straight forward. All Senators are aware that there is need to increase efficiency of this House without straining the people who sit on that Chair. It is very clear from the Standing Order No.16, that there should be a Chairpersons Panel. However, the Standing Order only talks about three Senators being Members of that Panel. The Standing Order states that in the constitution of the Panel, we should also look at the political composition of the Panel. There being two coalitions in the Senate, it becomes very difficult to divide the number three. So, it is reasonable that we increase the number to four, so that we can include another Senator to balance the House. This House had the occasion to discuss before, in a Kamukunji, and we all agreed that Sen. Mositet joins the Chairpersons Panel. Sen. Mositet is one of the most hardworking Members of this House. He is also very fair and reasonable. He will be a good addition to the Chairpersons Panel under Standing Order No.16. We also know how tiring it is for one person to sit on the Chair the whole afternoon, especially when the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker are not there. There is need for that function to be shared. This is a very reasonable proposal from the RBC. I would urge our colleagues in the House to support it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
