    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, in my replying remarks, I wanted to thank Sen. M. Kajwang’ for his able leadership in that committee. I served in that Committee under your leadership for a very short period of time; I did not finish a year because it was taking a lot of time. Anyone who serves in CPAIC must know that it takes a lot of time. When I sat in the Committee when the Governor of Elgeyo-Marakwet was appearing, I found out that they have innovatively added a number of things, including the investigators and EACC sitting there. That has really helped the Committee in doing its work. I am sure that when the reports will be debated, we shall be kinder to Sen. M. Kajwang’ for the great job he did for the two years that he led that Committee. I am sure he has got greater experience in that area, and will contribute in other ways. Sen. Sakaja made a personal request that he would like to concentrate on his Committee and other parliamentary duties, which have now landed him in the Ad hoc Committee on COVID-19. Lastly, you said that Sen. Kihika was very diplomatic today; it is for obvious reasons. Sen. Kihika is a diplomat, the top diplomat in this House because she is a Chair in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) globally. Therefore, if she does not behave here diplomatically, she will be betraying her diplomatic responsibilities. I want to thank you for that opportunity and wish all our colleagues in their committees the very best as they serve. You should always remember that your commitment to the committees is more important to all of us. If the worst happens, we will replace you midway, if need be. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
