    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. As much as I appreciate the misgivings by Hon. Gikaria and other Members, it is also good to appreciate that we cannot operate in isolation. The National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya will borrow traditions, practices and other precedents that have been applied in other parliaments. Therefore, this is consistent. There is nothing to worry about. It formalises the issue of seniority, expertise and organisation within a party, so that a party can just sit and say we authorise so and so or we prioritise so and so in the Speaker’s priority list to speak on this. There is nothing wrong in this and there is nothing to fear. Therefore, I urge my colleagues here who have a bit of misgiving on this to accept the amendment. It will enhance our democracy and vibrance as the National Assembly. It is consistent and it makes sense."
