    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am sure all of us are aware that you are the Chair of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Africa Executive Committee. When we see this coming from the Kenya National Assembly, it will work very well for us because you are providing leadership. I hope by passing this Motion, we will also be sending a very clear signal to the rest of the Parliaments in Africa that it is doable. I want to agree with those who are saying the issue of voting will not be an easy one. I think the Committee will have to take a lot of time to think through how voting will be conducted. This is because when you have some people in a room and others out there, it will not be easy. But to me, things like where to conduct these kinds of meetings will be easier once we agree on the Motion because it is clear that people will have to dress officially. They will have to know the timings of the meetings so they can look for a right place to avoid interruptions from other family members as has been said. I also want to prepare the country that by passing this Motion it will be calling for additional resources to the National Assembly so that we have the right environment to conduct such meetings. With those remarks, I want to urge my colleagues to support this Motion and then we move to the next level of implementation. Hon. Speaker, I support."
