    "content": "Like I said, the Member for Ugunja has been out o f the House for some time. I encourage him to re-read the Standing Orders and appreciate that the Speaker does not micromanage Committees of the House. If a Member has any issue before a Committee, you appear before it and raise the matter there. Except for the fact that I suspect that you need Kenyans and the people of Ugunja to hear you speak more often, you know that you are out of order. I cannot allow the debate which should be before the Committee become the debate in the plenary when there is no Report. So, you are out of order but you are advised to appear before the PAC, not as a Member. You should appear before the PAC to raise the issue with them. They should address it. If need be, make a Report to the plenary. But, you are now asking of Member of the Committee to start commenting. Commenting about what? We must follow these Standing Orders. For the time being, they are the ones that must guide us. That is a matter before the Committee. Hon. Wandayi, kindly approach the Member for Rarieda who chairs that Committee. If you want him to comment, he can comment even in the village or when you are having tea. That is because you will not be allowed to comment here because the matter is not yet before the plenary. You can raise it before the Committee. Because it is all you want, comments can be made anywhere out there. We want him to comment here only after he has put in a Report, Hon. Wandayi. But we obviously appreciate the few months you were away. You might have grown rusty. Let us hear from the Mover of this Motion. Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, the Member for Gem and the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party."
