    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I intend to be very brief because of time. Like my colleagues, let me congratulate the new team which is due to go to EALA. Out of the nine, there are seven seasoned politicians and of course the youth, the son of my neighbour and my party leader and the good young lady, Jematiah Sergon. I am not sure if I got the name right. I think this is a team we expect to do a lot. We have been wondering why our cows are being auctioned when they cross over the border and yet it is a colonial border. Those are the things we expect them to raise to ensure that we have a good relationship with our neighbours. However, next week is very important for this House. It is the time to choose Chairs and Vice-Chairs of Committees. My experience has told me we avoid as much as possible Chairs who are appointed from State House. If this House is going to remain a strong House, Members should choose effective Chairs and Vice-Chairs. Therefore, those of you who have been appointed from State House mko na kazi ngumu, you have a tough week ahead. You saw Members reading the Riot Act to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) which has been a big disappointment to this House. When I came back, I was shocked with the things I found in this House that indeed there was a Commission. I am also told that most of the Committees have also deteriorated down because of the tendency of appointing people from State House. So, as we move on, let me wish my colleagues and the people of Yatta a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
