    "content": "on Selection today, then the Committee sits tomorrow, still we will not have been able to report to this House on Thursday to facilitate elections on the same day. Realistically, it is not practical to hold elections within the deadlines that were envisaged in your ruling. For us to do justice to the membership of this House and reconstitute the committees, I would urge the House to make this resolution of exempting the provisions of those Standing Orders, so that the whips have enough time to look through their committees and reconfigure them. There are Members who want to be shifted, others who do not attend and others who have been discharged. They are supposed to balance this so that it is in accordance with the Standing Orders and the requirements of the Committee on Selection. It is against this background that I appeal to Members to make this resolution, so that we have adequate time for consultations and bring to this House the right names. After that, Members themselves will sit in their Committees and elect their Chairs and Vice-Chairs without changing them after that. I beg to move and ask my counterpart, the Leader of the Minority Party, C.P.A. John Mbadi to second."
