    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I am a member of the Committee on Selection. As you have rightfully explained, we are constrained in terms of time. Yesterday, we sat the entire afternoon to ensure that we have these committees in place and, more importantly, the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It is unfortunate that it is the Minority Whip who is complaining. The Majority Whip and Hon. Junet were called to confirm the names that were missing. Let us not bring personal differences into such important matters. As a House, we must not put our own benefit above the benefit of the country. We need this Committee to be in place for the sake of the country and the budget-making process. As the Committee on Selection, we did wide consultations. We made several calls to ensure the Committee is in place. When it comes to the issue of some Members benefitting and others losing, let us look at our country first. We are time-bound. Hon. Millie spoke very well that we do not need to bring some of these issues on the Floor. I read malice. I support the Motion. We should pass it so that we can move forward as a country."
