    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. My colleagues who have spoken have said that they have no problem with the capabilities of the Members who have been serving in this Committee. They have worked together, created a rapport, and served us well for the last three years under your leadership. Half of them are in that Committee due to the positions that they hold in this House. This is a very important year for us as we approach the end of the term of this Senate. Therefore, there has to be continuity in the Committee. The Members know what has been worked on and what needs to be worked on. Therefore, they should continue serving in the Committee and prioritizing some of the things that are very critical for us in this House. This reminds me of the Committee that considered the impeachment of Governor Wambora. One of the key issues that were raised was that the same Committee that considered his case the first time considered it the second time but the House was in agreement and the opinion of every Senator was taken into consideration. Even though we, as the Senate, lost the case at the Court of Appeal, I hope that even as we go to the Supreme Court that will not be one of the issues that should be looked at. Serving this Committee requires a lot of dedication. Given the fact that they have served us well in this House, I believe that they will continue to do so this year. I beg to support."
