    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was not going to speak until I heard what the Senator from Busia has just said. Although I also support the Motion without necessarily commenting about my membership to this Committee but I think the reasoning is a bit warped in the sense that if there was a requirement to change, as it were, and have some kind of rotation in leadership in these committees, then you cannot confine it to one particular committee. Not unless you covet, it should go to all committees. I was asking the Attorney-General Emeritus here that as Chair of the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee, if he has ever conceived of stepping down and he said he is going to be there for five years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even our leadership in the House, the Majority Leader here is just there because he has been imposed upon us. The party and the coalition which he leads elected him and by virtue of that, he is now in the Committee. We have another panel called the Speaker’s Panel, which “the lion” from Migori is also a Member of and he does not desire to leave that particular chair although he was opposing this Motion. If you go through that argument, then logically, it will not be a question of just this particular Committee but in all positions of leadership. These experiments sometimes work and sometimes they do not."
