(Prof.) Lonyangapuo 10. Sen. James Orengo 11. Sen. Janet Ong’era 12. Sen. (Dr.) Agnes Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you have guided this House, the first critical business every new session is to constitute the RBC so that it can move with speed to schedule business for this House with immediate effect. Hon. Senators will realise that for the past three years we have largely maintained the same Membership of this Committee. First and foremost, by way of requirement, as Senators are aware, the Chairmanship of the Committee as well as the membership of the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader, the Senate Majority Whip and the Senate Minority Whip is required to remain. Mr. Speaker, Sir, other than that, it has also been our practice that this Committee remains constant so that this critical role is institutionalized especially during this first Senate. We have not made any changes from the majority side. I have also seen that there are no changes from the minority side except as Members know that towards the end of last year, the former Deputy Majority Leader resigned from office as the Deputy Majority Leader and also as Senator for Kericho County. He went to serve the nation in a different capacity in the Executive. The only replacement in that Committee is Sen. Murkomen, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
