    "content": "I found out that the late Hon. Martin Shikuku would speak for a week on a Bill. Parliament had few Members then. What was amazing is that those Members still found substance to debate for long without repeating themselves. It is good we start on a very good note. We have agreed that we have researchers and personal assistants. It is in your interest to make sure that you speak in the Chamber. That is why this is called a debating Chamber. It is not a Chamber for anything else. So, you can use the Research Department of Parliament, Committee Clerks, Directorate of Legal Services and Directorate of Legislative and Procedural Services to prepare notes so that at the end of the day, you do not contribute by repeating what others said. You find here that a Member contributes, like Hon. Baya from Kilifi North Constituency, and then I repeat what he said. Hon. Baya is different from Hon. Duale. The public is watching. There is a lot of interest in the National Assembly. When the Speaker of the National Assembly of Tanzania came, he said that Tanzanians love watching the National Assembly of Kenya more than their Parliament because this is a very vibrant House. Because of that, let us make sure that we give very good food for thought. We have a very vibrant Hon. Speaker. So, our House should be very lively. We are setting the rules. You must speak in the Chamber."
