    "content": "qualified person to help us in the interim period as we wait for the nomination of the Panel. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I consulted Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and she is more than happy to do this national duty. She is a person I have tremendous respect for as a professional and a strong woman leader in this country. I am sure all the young women leaders in this House and elsewhere have a tutor in Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. We taught at the university at the same time, although she was higher in the hierarchy of the university. She was a Deputy Vice Chancellor and at that time I had just started my teaching career at the School of Law. That is life; sometimes you get to meet people in a different context later. Sen. Irungu Kang’ata, the Senator for Murang’a County, is equally a good, vocal and articulate lawyer. He is now doing his second term in Parliament, although he served his first term in the National Assembly. Therefore, he is not new to the proceedings of this House. He was also my student at the University of Nairobi and I can assure you that he is a person of great intelligence. When he is not doing politics, he is actually a very serious legislator. Politics is not done in the Chamber but out there. I like the way he balances politics and his responsibilities in the House as a legislator. Mr. Speaker, Sir, without much ado, I request my colleagues to support this Motion so that both Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and Sen. Kang’ata, the Senators for Uasin Gishu and Murang’a counties, respectively, can help in relieving the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker until, through the Standing Orders and the political party machinery, we are able to get substantive Members of the Speaker’s Panel. I beg to move and request Sen. Iman to second this Motion."
