I sincerely thank the Committee for this amendment. When I came here, I thought I was coming to paradise, but when I landed, reality sank that what I expected is not what I got. I hold the National Assembly with such exalted status. I expected things to move smoothly, be organised and services to be in an extent far much better than what we had elsewhere. At times, I think the University of Nairobi (UoN) had better facilities and good management than this place. I hope with these amendments, we will move to the next level to accept and acclaim the status of the National Assembly in national matters."}
