    "content": " Hon. Speaker, although I am aware that the seat of Didmus Barasa can be declared vacant, he has to resign in writing. That goes a long way in telling us, as leaders, that we should be responsible in whatever we say. Talking about resigning is not a small matter. It is a matter that should be driven by conviction not the spur of the moment. There is also a fundamental question here which is: How should Members relate to their committees? Honestly speaking, unless you have exhausted all the avenues within the Committee, you should not bring circus like what Hon. Didmus has done. This is a matter that he should have sorted out in his Committee even if he was not Vice-Chair of anything. Since he sits in that Committee, if he regularly attends the Committee, it is a matter he could easily raise with the Committee and ask why his Question is not being addressed yet others are being addressed. Something needs to be done about the relationship between Hon. Didmus Barasa and the Committee. If he is tired of sitting in that Committee, Hon. Duale is up to the task He can swap him with some other Member from another Committee because I know he is an active Member from, at least, the public image that he gives. I am shocked that in the Committee, the contrary is being proved. I just hope he still has interest in that Committee. We can spare Barasa the agony of thinking of resigning because I am sure the people of Kimilili need representation. They chose Barasa for five years. Let him work for the people for five years. After that, they will make a judgment not based on his speech. Maybe he was just angered. I do not know what annoyed Barasa. He should hold his cool. Next time he should not be so annoyed like he was today. I urge that we spare him. Let us not take the route of asking him to resign or even naming him. I am pleading with the Speaker."
