    "content": "Well spoken, Hon. Wamalwa. Indeed, you have raised very many pertinent issues. We are now discussing the question of composition of committees. Those that may be lucky to chair or deputize, it is fair that we be faithful to the Standing orders. If you invite people to appear before your committee at an appointed time and 30 minutes after the appointed time you have not raised quorum, please, disband. Walk away. The clerks should also walk away. Those are the new instructions I am going to issue. The Standing Orders clearly says 30 minutes maximum if you have not been able to quorate, the clerks will be under instructions to walk away, so there will be nobody. Even if you come later, it will be stories. There will be no report about what has transpired Again, the chairs and vice-chairs are encouraged to ensure that their members attend. It is for that reason that this effort has been made to make sure that Members are not in too many committees, so that they are able to give their very best input to the committees to which they will be appointed. Indeed, Hon. Wamalwa, it is important that that issue be appreciated by all of us. It is not fair when you invite people to appear before you, the appointed time is 10 a.m., and at 11 a.m. some of you are busy on your phones pretending someone is calling you. We know nobody is calling you. You are just walking out of the committee room. The chair is busy The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
