"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me hit on it straight away. I have listened carefully to the suggestions by the Senate Majority Leader and the opposition by Sen. M. Kajwang. It is all hinged on Section 6(1) of the rules of appointment of these Members in this Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if it were so, and we start with the suggestion of the recommendations in the report by the Majority Leader, then we should not even accept this report in total plus the membership therein. It means that the report should go back to be done afresh with different membership. If we will support the request as put forward by Sen. M. Kajwang, then we have to reject this report because it is being opposed so that it is made afresh. So, whichever way you see it, there is an anomaly; a big one for that matter because the mischief in it is that some people in this country want to lord it over Kenyans in giving gifts o their sycophantic supporters. That is the truth. This report should be taken back and members from the border communities like the Kurias, Taitas, Subas, those from Mt. Elgon and the Luhyas should be the only members to this Committee."
