    "content": "He moved, he was seconded and there was no further debate. Yesterday is when those other many things he is saying, to which he is replying, were raised by Members. So, Members let us take our work seriously. I do not want to fault Hon. Kivasu because he did a good job as an agent of necessity or a member of the Committee and, indeed, Hon. Mwambu Mabongah, who is also a member of that Committee. You as the Chairperson, you have an obligation to inform the House who it is that you have appointed or nominated to move a particular debate on your behalf so that we always keep our eyes on that person. I am requesting Members of the Speaker’s Panel to always keep an eye when somebody moves a Motion and then you hold them to account. I suspect you may have been doing something which happened over the weekend, but that is not an excuse for not also doing what is supposed to be done in the House. But this is just one observation. There are several others, particularly Chairs of the Committees. I really want to thank Members of various Committees who have, on occasion, risen to do that which the leadership of their Committees are, for one reason or the other, unable to do in the House. That is as it should be. There should really be that spirit."
