I thank my colleagues the Whip of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Majority Party for the consultation we had before coming up with a good list of Members to various committees. The Leader of the Majority Party chaired our committee yesterday. Some of the Members are not happy. They feel they have not been appointed to serve in the committees they wanted.

To conclude, we are going to make sure, as Whips, that Members attend committee meetings on time so that service delivery is offered to Kenyans. This is because Sarah Serem has been complaining that we are not working since she does not attend committee meetings. She only sees on television what happens in plenary.

He has been canvassing and creating anarchy within our side of the coalition for the last three days. We have been having sleepless nights because of the Leader of the Majority Party. He has been giving us problems on our side. I submit that this matter should be referred back to the coalition. Not the names, but the complaints. The names stand because they are before the House. They are already in a Motion of the House. You can only withdraw or amend the Motion. We cannot withdraw names here. I am talking about the complaints that have been raised ...

Hon. Speaker, I stand to second the Motion. The PSC is basically the Commission that has employed us in this House. We are employees of the PSC. It is a very important organ that we must make sure we put men and women who are going to work for this Parliament and make sure that the welfare of the Members is taken care of. Hon. Speaker, please,protect me from the Members.
