    "content": "As a matter of fact, the register in the custody of the Clerk indicates that there have been over 700 such notifications in the last three years between September 2017 to date. Allow me, Hon. Members to single out particular cases of certain Members notably, the Hon. Esther Passaris, Hon. (Dr.) Swarrup Mishra, Hon. Shakeel Shabbir, Hon. (Dr.) James Nyikal, Hon. Paul Ongili Owino and Hon. Paul Koinange, who consistently notify the Office of the Speaker whenever they travel outside Kenya in their respective private capacities. I congratulate them. Hon. Members, whereas there are no sanctions against Members who fail to inform the Speaker whenever they travel out of the country, I urge you to live up to the spirit of Chapter Six of the Constitution, particularly Article 75 relating to conduct of State Officers whether in public or official life, in private life or in association with other persons. I also urge you to live up to the spirit of the oath of office that you all took. However, all Members are reminded to always abide by the provisions of Standing Order No.260, requiring Members travelling outside Kenya in official or private capacity to always notify the Office of the Speaker for the reasons stated above. As I conclude, Hon. members, I would like to implore upon the concerned Members and indeed the entire membership of this House in paraphrasing the words commonly used in the House by the Member for Kisumu Town West, Hon. Olago Aluoch that “to whom much has been given, much is expected; and to whom much is entrusted, of him all the more will be asked”. The House is so guided. Thank you."
