    "content": "On Part I of the Standing Orders which is the introductory part, the Committee is proposing to do the following: (a) To expand the scope of guide to the Speaker‘s decision to include parliamentary practices. (b) Define the term ―broadcast‖ to include live transmission of proceedings of the House by radio, televisions and webcast. As you are aware, the House proceedings are already being broadcast live via YouTube. (c) Codify the significance of the Mace by providing that it symbolises the authority of the Speaker in the House so that Members - like the famous one who is aspiring to become the Senator for Kisumu - will completely be dissuaded from touching the Mace in Parliament if he was to come back here. Moving to Part II of the Standing Orders which deals with the swearing of Members and election of the Speaker, the Committee is proposing to amend the Standing Orders to provide for the swearing in of Members of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) and prescribe the process of removal of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker which is not provided for in the current and all other previous Standing Orders."
