    "content": "Hon. Angwenyi, you may wish to make reference to a story that was published about a Bill that is seeking to amend the Children’s Act by the other House, perhaps, to deal with that particular area of illegitimacy and others. But I think we should allow Hon. Koinange to call a meeting. Indeed, the minutes show that a meeting happened on 24th September. He should call for another one and get a report from all the sub-committees so that they can start moving. Let us not further debate on this because we will just kill the sub-committees. I want to encourage other committees to form sub-committees. There are some committees which are inundated with a lot of work. Several Members have been complaining that businesses referred to those Committees are not moving. I think rather than dwelling so much on this, let us allow Hon. Koinange. Hon. Didmus Barasa, according to the record, you belong to that sub-committee. You can meet and ask to be provided with clerks. You are not the vice-chair. Hon. Kaluma has said there was a proposal to have you as the vice-chair. Hon. Members, we have lived long enough in this country and seen Members of this House who I may not wish to name who elongated themselves positions in their political parties. They went ahead to issue serious statements only to be disowned by the real officials. Then soon thereafter, they proceeded to resign from the positions they had elongated and in their minds assumed. I am not saying that is what Hon. Peter Kaluma is doing. No! I want your sub-committees to work. I think this is more important and substantive. Let the sub-committees work and the Chair of the main Committee will come and give a report of what is happening. Hon. Koinange in the course of next week, why not give us a progress report on how the sub-committees are working. Let us proceed. Next Order!"
