"content": "Chairpersons. From my experience in this House, I have observed that committees become more visible and effective when they have serious and mature individuals, those who bring cohesion across the board and consult widely. For most of those elected, I have seen very dedicated Members who are always present in Parliament engaged in debates, such as my friend, Dr Nyikal. I congratulate him and hope he will foster strong cohesion among the Members who elected him. To my regret, Hon. Speaker, I belong to a Committee chaired by you. It is called the Powers and Privileges Committee. I have often wondered whether this is a punitive point for those pushed there. It is very inactive. The committee is largely inactive, with very little work taking place."

Year in, year out, there is no activity. We do not even go outside. In the last Parliament, we managed to go out for some engagements. Since the year began, we have not done anything. I hope we will improve a bit to restore enthusiasm to the Committee. Thank you again, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to speak without a card."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for granting me this opportunity. At the outset, I join my colleagues in congratulating the newly elected Chairs and Vice-Chairs of various committees. In exception, I am really happy. I hear people complaining about their committees, but I am proud to have my Chair and Vice-Chair in the House ― Hon. Kuria Kimani and Hon. Fatuma 'Full Network.' I take exception to Hon. Kuria Kimani, who, during committee meetings, sits from morning until evening. I sometimes wonder whether he goes for a call of nature because I do not see him stand up. He has made a lot of commitment to the Committee, and I urge all chairpersons to make that same commitment. He also understands his work. When Hon. Sabina talked about the unfortunate incident that happened to him because of the Finance Bill, I also regretted that fact. He took much of his time as a CPA to analyse and put on their toes all the stakeholders who brought their proposals. I still believe the final draft was a good one. I am also part of the Committee membership. It was so unfortunate, and on behalf of all of us and the members, it was unfortunate that he went through what happened. Pole Chair. Let me also congratulate our principals for uniting Kenya. We can now see new faces in leadership. I have always admired the way Dr Nyikal presents himself in Parliament and the commitment he has given. I pray that when I grow old, I be like him."

He is now a Vice- Chair of the other Committee. This unity seems to be very strong. He used to be a critic. Today, I am happy that he has mentioned Dr. William Samoei Ruto's name very positively for the first time. Thank you so much. This country is moving forward. Thank you so much for the opportunity."
