    "content": "when it comes to business of committees. I know we will have another Motion when it comes to the issues of the PSC. We want Members who will take the interest of the welfare of these Members at heart. It is very important. I had wished that somebody like the Member for Kiambu Hon. Wamuchomba to be in the PSC. The very first time she came, she showed that she had the interest of the welfare of the Members at heart. This is a House of debate and we are not just going to accept Members because they have been proposed by somebody. We want people who can take care of the interests of the welfare of this House. That is the most important thing. We must guard that jealously. Outside there we have a lot of enemies. The moment you are elected to come to this House, the number of your enemies doubles. That is the problem. When it comes to matters of legislation, public scrutiny has to go on in the committees. When it comes to public participation as stipulated in Article 118 of the Constitution, it is done by the committees. We, therefore, must take seriously the work of committees. I looked at the Committee on Appointments and I realized that it is incomplete. It is going to be a problem when it comes to vetting but with further consultations, we should allow this committee to be constituted properly so that the HBC can move on."
