Madam Temporary Speaker, there is headache for the Whips and the Chairpersons of Committees. Something that we should address in that Kamukunji is the fact that Members do not attend Committees. There are Members who want to be in four or five Committees and they hardly appear in any of them. I want us to look at that. If we do---

Madam Temporary Speaker, what have I said that is out of order? I just wanted us to agree here that that when that Kamukunji comes--- That is okay. I can take a point of information.

Madam Temporary Speaker, you know miracles still happen. I agree with Members. Please, let us not have the desire to have more Committees than we can handle. Let us make sure that every Member belongs to at least two Standing Committees. There needs to be a general agreement with the other Committees. I agree and look forward to the time when we can conclude with this matter.

Order! We can then raise the matter of our friend, Sen. Kang’ata, who was misrepresented. The media raised issues about Sen. Kang’ata and the Speaker has made a ruling. Mine is to support the Speaker on the matter. When I was in the Ministry of Information, I created the Media Council of Kenya, which is responsible for the rules that bind the media. This means they cannot misreport, just as I heard Sen. Wetangula speak. He said that even if Sen. Kang’ata had problems with anybody, we would defend him when it comes to being misrepresented and misreported. As your ...
