    "content": "I wanted to ask whether it is in order even as you convene the inaugural meeting to co-opt members. Remember in the 11th Parliament there was a time we co- opted members whom, we famously referred to as Njuri Ncheke . I wanted to request that there are many Members, of course I included, who diligently served in this Committee in the 11th Parliament together with Hon. Ali Wario and the Deputy Speaker, who is now privileged to sit in when you are not there and you can probably delegate this to him. I am requesting this because of the many issues relating to matters privilege, if you would kindly consider incorporating those of us who are elders in our own right to this Committee. I do not know whether the Leader of the Minority Party imagines being an elder has something to do with age but it has everything to do with wisdom. Those who are co-opted as you can remember was not on the basis of age but the wisdom they would impact into that Committee. I am kindly requesting that you consider this as you start work in this very important Committee. I know some us are chairs of other Committees and cannot be included in this Committee but do consider including us as Njuri Ncheke . Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
