When there was a reshuffle of committee membership, Independent Members who owe allegiance to political parties were placed on Committees by those political parties. That is erroneous. An Independent Member should be able to decide, through the Caucus, the Committee to which they want to belong. They are exposed, and they need protection."

The Crossbench is for Independent Members, Members de-whipped from their parties, or Members who parties have merged, like when United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Amani National Congress (ANC) merged. Members of the two parties were on a free call. They could choose either to be Independent Members of Parliament or to join other parties. There is normally a provision for such Members. We need to look at our Standing Orders so that Independent Members are treated like other Members of political parties in this House, even when it comes to selection of Committees. I just wanted to share that with my dear friend. Thank you."

"content": " Do you know of any caucus anywhere that allows Independent Members to demand and qualify for political party funding, by dint of their numbers in the House? A caucus of Independent Members is neither a political party nor a coalition. I was in the 10th Parliament when we established the concept of caucuses, mainly for Members who rebelled from different political parties, came together and took a position that they were united on. It is a post-election or a post de-whipping arrangement. We are looking at systems. I am just curious as to what kind of system we could create to accommodate such an arrangement."
