    "content": "Amani National Congress (ANC) where I belong. And today, I have been elected the Parliamentary Committee Chairman of ANC, National Rainbow Coalition (NARC), Progressive Party of Kenya (PPK), Muungano Party and Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU). Hon. Speaker, ANC has 14 Members of National Assembly and their interests have been totally disregarded. We have zero representation of the party leadership in this House. This is a blatant violation of the provision of Standing Order No.20 (2). This is shameful. Hon. Speaker, the Constitution of this country provides for gender balance. However, the list that was read here does not even recognise gender balance. We are seeking your indulgence to protect this House and us from the Standing Orders because this is a House of rules. Hon. Speaker, as you are aware, we are politely seeking your clarification on the options available within the Standing Orders on how the leadership of this House intends to implement the provisions of Standing No.20 to ensure that all Members from NASA Coalition are considered in leadership position and the Constitution is respected. Lastly, as a member of ANC which is of a fairer gender, we are just asking you as the Speaker, to kindly protect the institution of Parliament and the Standing Orders by ensuring that the list that was brought in yesterday is thrown out because it does not meet the requirements of Standing Order No. 20. Secondly, it totally violates the Constitution. Kindly intervene and give us direction. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
