    "content": "Fortunately I chair that Committee and I can tell you… Since every Member of Parliament essentially plays the three roles of representation, oversight and legislation, even if you are a commissioner you must be accorded the opportunity to play those other roles. The proposal states that if you are a Commissioner, you should not chair a committee or deputise in a committee. That is the report as adopted this morning. That is the proposal. The Mover, Hon. Kajwang’, explained the reason when he was moving. He said, the PSC itself has several other sub-committees and they are chaired by those Commissioners. Rather than taking space which could have been taken by other Members who are not in the commission, then go ahead and chair those other sub-committees, allow other Members an opportunity to offer leadership or show their ability to lead in the committees of the House. The Mover made it clear. Hon. Barasa, you may proceed."
