    "content": "The other issue is, as the Chair of JLAC in the 11th Parliament, both the Chair, Hon. Chepkong’a and his Vice Hon. Pricilla Nyokabi, did a sterling performance. What comes to my mind is this, how do you assess the performance of a Member of Parliament? Is it how much time you spend here in the House or how much time you spend elsewhere or in the constituency? These two were so dedicated to JLAC that they hardly had time to go to their constituency. Hon. Priscilla Nyokabi never had time to go back to Nyeri, Hon. Chepkong’a never had time to go to Ainabkoi. Only six months to elections is when they were hardly ever there for committee work because they were in panic mode. They had to go back to their constituencies. I remember telling them that I was not made the Chair of JLAC and that the two of them were Chair and Vice Chair and I would not take the responsibility of chairing meetings in their absence simply because they had realised too late that they needed to be in the constituency.
