    "content": "Hon. Speaker, when I moved this issue, one of the media houses made it a headline. I do not know why they do not want to make headlines out of the many meetings that are held by the Judiciary and the Executive. Members of Parliament play the oversight role. It is through committees that the role of oversight is done. So, there is nothing wrong even if a Member was to sit in five different committees. There is no crime he or she would have committed because we do not sit in those committees to have tea; we sit in those committees to deliberate on issues that affect the people of Kenya. We interrogate public, private and State officers as the people’s representatives and it is our duty as per the Constitution. So, I am very happy and sure that the Selection Committee, which I chair, has its work cut out. Hopefully, next week, inshallah, at such a time, we should be tabling the full list of membership in committees."
