    "content": "Some people argue that if we add more Members, we will have to add more seats in this House, which has 349 seats. When we visited the House of Commons with Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa, Hon. Shill and Hon. Alice Wahome last time, we realised, during Prime Minister’s Time; that a quarter of the Members of the House of Commons had no physical seats to sit on. They virtually stood as the Prime Minister talked. The rationale is that at any given time, we have less than 150 Members seated here. So, we will not even change this Chamber. This Chamber is only filled up during State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President, when our colleagues from the Senate join us for a joint sitting. There is always space. That is not a very good reason. We can have some Members standing."
