    "content": "Some of these first time Members should listen and learn from us instead of rising on points of order and they do not know what they are saying. I support the Motion because it is timely. This House should not be pushed into a corner in the establishment of this Select Committee. I have seen the names in the Select Committee. Those people who are opposed to what I am saying have been put in that Committee. We have Departmental Committees in this House. We can reconstitute this Committee so that it is devoid of the House leadership. My question is very simple. We are entitled to debate anything in this House as long as we do not infringe on other people’s rights. I do not violate anybody’s rights. I am opposed to this Select Committee as it is constituted for the reasons I have given. If there has to be a Select Committee instead of a Departmental Committee, let it be reconstituted afresh and we will accept it. Gambling is a multi-billion shillings industry. I had posed a question, but I never imputed improper motive on anybody in the House. I am surprised the leadership of the House, including the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Aden Duale, have put themselves in the Select Committee. Why have they put themselves in a Select Committee on gambling? That is not imputing improper motives. We have so much work and we can delegate. Let us refer it back to the Departmental Committees or reconstitute the Select Committee afresh."
