    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I associate myself to what the leadership of the House has said about the passing of this Motion. In reference to the manner in which they have taken the results of the vote, it is mature and encouraging. The leadership of the House can bring a Motion and not necessarily expect the House to vote their way. This is the way forward because in Africa, it is difficult to vote like that. I hope in their ambitions out there, they can live with the results of the elections and not expect people to do things the way they say. Finally, on the misconception issue, the discretion is with the Senate. It is the Senate that forms the committees. It was not another body but us who used the powers provided under the Constitution, the County Governments Act and the Standing Orders. When we decide not to form a Committee, it is also the discretion of the House. At the end of the day, whether by Plenary or Committee, the Senate should take the responsibility. Whereas I agree that this should be explained, it should never be lost on us that there is a discretion that we have. We should utilise it as we deem fit. Each circumstance should be seen in its own merits."
