The new committee will reform the services. This committee is equal to the task because in my view the new team has varied talents, experience and commitment. The new committee is expected to be very efficient and effective. I would like to urge the new committee to make sure that the funds allocated to the committee are utilized properly for the benefit of the Members. They should make sure that our offices are kept clean. At times, our offices are dirty and unhealthy. Therefore, the committee will be expected to improve services in these areas."},{"id":5362,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5362/?format=json","text_counter":358,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mr. Njuguna","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":20,"legal_name":"Peter Njuguna Gitau","slug":"peter-gitau"},"content":"With those few remarks, I support the membership."},{"id":5363,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5363/?format=json","text_counter":359,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting the Motion, I only want to say one thing; I am happy with the composition of this committee because it actually debunks the gender stereotypes. Whenever you see catering, it is never about women. I am happy that in this committee, out of 11 members, there are nine men and two women. For the sake of hon. Khalwale, my friend, I want to tell him that we know the old tricks of their club; that if there is a benefit and there is money, suddenly a women sector like cooking is given a fancy name like the “chief chef” and then men take over. Despite that, I am regretting because we should have put Dr. Bonny Khalwale in the committee because he has expertise in traditional cuisine and it would have been very beneficial here."},{"id":5364,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5364/?format=json","text_counter":360,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mr. Namwamba","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":108,"legal_name":"Ababu Tawfiq Pius Namwamba","slug":"ababu-namwamba"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. I want to support the establishment of this obviously very important committee. I want to emphasize that time and shape have handed this Tenth Parliament a very unique opportunity to reform the entire spectrum in the management of the affairs of this country. We are reforming the Executive, the Judiciary, the police force and every single facet of this nation. It would be a contradiction, actually some kind of paradox, if we reformed everything else and forgot to reform ourselves. When you talk about reforms, there is no better place to start than where it matters the most; matters of the stomach and matters of health. Therefore, I want to believe that this very important committee will be the beginning; the first block in the reconstruction of this very honourable House. Some of us have not been particularly impressed by the standard of cuisine that we enjoy in Parliament. We want to see more variety. We want to see more than just mandazis and cakes for our snacks. We want to see a broader menu that celebrates the richness of African cuisine, something that we never see on our menu.

On a more serious note, sometimes we get visitors in our offices and they balk at the state of our offices and the buildings in which we serve. When you look at Continental House, you tell yourself that this place could certainly be better. Even if you go to our Health Club where some of us spend quite a bit of time, you get the feeling that the services and the facilities could be better and yet when you interact with the media, one of the favourites of the media in this country is to call every facility in Parliament “state-of-the-art”. They go on and on, how we undeservingly enjoy these state-of-the-art facilities. One would want to stress that if, indeed, there are state-of-the-art facilities here, then let them be state-of-the-art and let them be run at the level of state-of-the-art. So, I want to congratulate the House for coming up with this committee. I hope that as soon as this committee is put in place, it will turn around and overhaul the entire structure of our catering and health club and make this House truly up to scratch in terms of the services that are provided to the Members. With that, I support the Motion."},{"id":5367,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5367/?format=json","text_counter":363,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mr. Mwadeghu","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":98,"legal_name":"Thomas Ludindi Mwadeghu","slug":"thomas-mwadeghu"},"content":"Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, ninaomba kutoa mchango wangu kuhusu Hoja hii ambayo Bunge linapendekeza. Kama tujuavyo, pahali pa mazoezi na mankuli ni pahali ambapo ni pa muhimu sana kwa Wabunge. Kama hakutakuwa na kamati maalum ya kushughulikia jambo hili, kamati ambayo iko na uzoefu na ambayo inaweza kushughulikia shughuli kama hii kwa undani, hata Bunge lenyewe litafadhaika. Tukiangalia pahali petu pa mazoezi, mpaka sasa haparidhishi. Hapajafikia kile kiwango ambacho tulikuwa tunatarajia kinaweza kuwa kwa Wabunge. Ni muhimu kuwa, wakati huu ambao tunasawazisha mambo mengi nchini, vitendo kama hivi vya pahali pa mazoezi, navyo vipate nafasi ya kusawazishwa, ili navyo viweze kufaa kutoa nafasi ya kutosha ya kupatia Wabunge yale mazoezi ambayo wanahitaji. Ninaunga mkono ombi ambalo lilitolewa na mhe. Khalwale kuwa, ingekuwa jambo la busara kama tungeona Wabunge akina mama wengi katika kamati hii. Lakini hata hivyo, ninaomba niseme kuwa wale ambao wameteuliwa katika kamati hii wajijumuishe kwa kikamilifu ili wahakikishe kuwa, hata chakula kile ambacho tunapatiwa, angalau kiwe na sura ya kiafrika. Tumekula vyakula vingi ambavyo kwa muda mrefu vimekuwa ni mfano tu. Bado tunakumbushwa ubepari. Nchi hii iko na vyakula vya aina nyingi vya Kiafrika. Tunaomba kamati hii, inapopitishwa ihakikishe kuwa jambo hili linatiliwa mkazo. Kwa hayo machache, ninaunga mkono."},{"id":5368,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5368/?format=json","text_counter":364,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Question put and agreed to)"},{"id":5369,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5369/?format=json","text_counter":365,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Prof. Kaloki","speaker_title":"The Temporary Deputy Speaker","speaker":{"id":62,"legal_name":"Philip Kyalo Kaloki","slug":"philip-kaloki"},"content":" Next order!"},{"id":5370,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5370/?format=json","text_counter":366,"type":"heading","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"BILLS"}]}
