    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May you be Mr. Speaker forever. I, therefore, want to confirm that on a very serious note, I am standing to oppose this Motion. I beg this House that when we vote, we should defeat this Motion so that we send back the leadership of the House and reconstitute this Committee afresh. With less than four months to 16th June, 2017, when we will be adjourning S ine Die, basically what we are doing as a Committee is that we are writing reports. To write those reports, we rely on what Members heard, what the HANSARD recorded and the interventions of the Members. Sen. Okong’o and Sen. Khaniri are the Members of this Committee who have been consistent in attendance. We need them to be reinstituted for them to help us in write these reports. I am not saying that Sen. Chelule and, indeed, Sen. Njoroge are not up to it. They are up to it, but they do not have the memory that we have had over the last four years. If we allow this to go on, we are confirming to the leadership of this country that the bad heydays when Moi used to use the outdated principle of carrot and stick is back. That they are holding a stick on the head of Sen. Khaniri because he has been voting with the opposition consistently. They are probably holding a stick on the head of Sen. Okong’o because he has challenged President Uhuru for State House? Is that the kind of democracy we want to grow? We want President Uhuru to be tolerant to Opposition even when---"
