    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the House will remember that a few years ago, we sat and expanded the number of committees in this Senate. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight, we should not have done that. We need to re-merge smaller committees into few and meaningful committees so as to create room for quorum in these committees and for business to be condensed in those committees, so that we can rise to the occasion. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you take, for example, the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (PAIC) where I sit, the backlog has started worrying me. It looks like this Senate might conclude the Reports of the Auditor-General on only one financial year; 2013/2014. The work is heavy. The case is not different from the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. For this reason, I want to support this Motion, as an acknowledgement of the fact that we are starting to have too much work in our hands. Secondly, we also sat and passed that this House should not be sitting on Wednesday mornings. Again, we must reconsider this, so that we do the traditional parliamentary way where we sit Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon."
