Hon. Speaker, my observation under Standing Order No. 227 is that we have a problem with the current chairpersons of various committees. I was suggesting that, maybe we revoke the current arrangement and be able to have chairpersons changing every year. Since we started, you can see some of the Petitions are almost seven to nine months old. I am suggesting that, maybe - I do not understand the Standing Order, because I am yet to be guided - we have hon. Members electing chairpersons on a rotational basis, so that we are able to get competence in some of ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the opportunity you have given me to contribute on this very important Motion. I want to take this opportunity to thank hon. Wangamati. Those of you who do not know hon. Wangamati, he is one of the few living legends of this country. Hon .Wangamati - as hon. Wakhungu mentioned - was even expelled from this country and lived in exile in Ghana because he had founded a movement called FERA, which he was the Chairman. I want to thank him. He is a hero and I want to suggest to this House ...

I also want to say that apart from the monetary compensation that the British Government has agreed to do, it is not fair for them to tell us that they are only compensating people who are alive.

They should apologize ...

I, therefore, support the Motion with my suggestion.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose this list. The ranking is going to cause a lot of controversy out there. Let us not be selfish. I want to agree with hon. Serem and the way he has put it. Even when you go out there for a public meeting or something, normally, a Member of Parliament will ask the Senator to talk first and then ask the governor to speak last. In this proposal, I suggest that we should prolong the list by giving each office holder his own position. For example under “e”, we should have the governor, then ...
