    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I support the nomination of these Senators to this Committee which is of much relevance to devolution. It is important to realize that most of the issues tackled by this Committee are more or less of “prosecutionable” nature. It is a pity that they just go down the drain as a report to the House because the relevant Government departments never implement them. Instead they tend to duplicate by starting other long tedious winding ways of trying to confirm issues that Parliament has already confirmed. I beseech them to be a straightforward Committee that will not be seen to witch- hunt. It should be a Committee whose report will be respected by all Kenyans. It is true that some names of Members that we thought were very active and knowledgeable have been dropped. It is important to change membership of a Committee so that the whole House has an opportunity to participate and serve in this pivotal Committee of this House. It is nothing peculiar to find that one Member has been dropped and replaced. It is okay so long as that replacement knows that it is a challenge that the predecessor had in that Committee. I support."
