    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I must congratulate Hon. Cheboi for moving the resolutions of the Procedure and House Rules Committee on the Standing Orders that have been achieved by this House. We must appreciate the difficulty that we have, sometimes, had in this House in terms of running the House and procedures. A very common issue that has been witnessed in this House was the Motion by my very good friend - my counterpart from Kibwezi West - who did a very good job on the removal of the Speaker. He is in the House. The Standing Orders were not very clear and I am sure he tried to look for ways. But now, with the definition in the Standing Orders as described by Hon. Cheboi in his moving, we are now clear on the way forward in the removal of a Speaker or a Deputy Speaker. I am aware that is why nothing had been achieved or was achieved at that point because nothing was clear on the removal of a very good speaker, you, Hon. Speaker. You are the Chair of the Procedure and House Rules Committee. As moved by Hon. Cheboi, this House will be remembered because of the amendments that were done to the Standing Orders. You being the Speaker and the Chairperson of your panel, it has not been easy to make some decisions because the Standing Orders have not been very clear on what to apply as far as running the House is concerned. I believe and trust that some of us will come back in the 12th Parliament. We are pronouncing success. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
