If it is different, I will not mind doing it from behind there."

Norman Nyagah brought here a Motion which I remember debating very clearly and supporting that the position of the Chief Whip be elevated to a Cabinet position. We did urge before this House and the House adopted the Motion that the whips should be named as Ministers in charge of Parliamentary Affairs. Of course, that was never implemented."
