    "content": "I hear people talk of “anticipating debate”. Which debate? There is no debate. Before you understand certain things, do not just quote. There is no debate. So, you cannot anticipate what is not there. Let me just say the last word. My only concern is with the current arrangement. You have talked about “a third of the Members” approving so that a Select Committee can be formed and, then finally, 50 per cent of the Members would remove the Member. With Covid-19 and the way we sit here, about 60 of us, I do not know how we will be able to get a third of the Members to approve. My suggestion is that if we can provide signatures of the Members supporting and they cannot deny that they have signed, if they do not deny that they have signed, you allow that to suffice as those Members having approved the removal of that Member. That is where I have issues because a quarter of the Members are about 88. A third of the Members are 117 and then there is the half. If you could allow Members to sign and then those signatures are allowed as having supported the Motion, we will constitute an 11 Member team to look into that. On this, because the Member I am proposing to be removed will be from ODM, you will allow the Minority to have six and the Majority to have five. If a Member is from the Jubilee side, we would have six Members from Jubilee and five from the NASA coalition. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I submit."
