    "content": "Hon. Speaker, through the Clerk who is here, we will move very fast. We will ask the Procedure and House Rules Committee to sit and amend all the Standing Orders from No. 174 to 176. The report will be tabled here for debate. I agree with you that we are colleagues and as Members of Parliament, we have roles. In your Communication, there is something that was not clear to me. That Independent Members must have a representative in the Committee on Selection, while at the same time, you said that an Independent Member is independent of the other one. How will they choose someone to sit in that Committee? The 14 of them cannot sit in the Committee on Selection. I do not know how Hon. Ochieng’ and Hon. Chachu will all fit in the Committee on Selection. The Committee on Selection that I chair will then have 36 Members. That is, 22, which is the membership and 14 Independent Members. That is an area that Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ and the team must look into. What will be the composition of the Committee on Selection? Who will represent the Independents and the small parties? Last week, I made a request for a Speaker’s Communication on this. I think today's Communication was one of the longest. Members should pick the Communication for their own use. Other jurisdictions can also borrow from that Communication. I stand guided and support."
