This is more or less procedural. It is obvious that once the House is in full session, you and the Hon. Speaker may not manage the business of the House, given the other administrative responsibilities that you have. It is important for the new Members to understand that other than the Hon. Speaker and his deputy, the Standing Orders provide that they be supported by Members of Parliament who will be on their panel. Previously, Hon. Speaker would pick on any Member in the Chamber to occupy his seat and conduct the business of the House. It is now neater because we have identified a Committee that will work with Hon. Speaker. That is why it is necessary for this House to approve this Motion. We will not allow anybody to occupy Hon. Speaker’s seat without authorisation by the House. This Motion is asking the House to support the proposed names from both sides of the House. We have two Members from each side of the House. I can see my friend, Hon. Maanzo, wondering which side is the Opposition but we already know. Hon. Patrick Mariru and Hon. Roselinda Soipan are from the Majority Party side, while Hon. Jessica Mbalu and Hon. Christopher Omulele are from the Minority Party side. This is a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
