    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I appreciate your ruling and I concur with what hon. (Dr.) Simiyu has said, but I want to make an appeal that considering where we have come from and how we ended the last Session; and considering the statements you made yesterday which I really concur with; that there are events that took place in the last Session that may not have been very nice and may have affected the reputation of this House--- Despite that, I think you took a wise position that we move on and that such events should be avoided as much as possible. In that situation, it would be my view to start this Session on a conciliatory note. Let this list pass as it is and let us start the businesses of the House because if attempts are made to make changes, I get the impression - and I have been getting comments in the corridors - that it will take us right back to where we were, where people will see you having taken a stand of reconciliation and letting the events of the past pass, we may use this opportunity to revisit those issues in somehow a back-door way. Therefore, my appeal is that we let the Committee start its work. It has worked before and if we have other issues, we can do that as we proceed with the businesses of the House, instead of blocking ourselves at the very beginning. Thank you, hon. Speaker.
