    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence for two reasons. One, the Chair of the Committee is the one moving the Motion, not the respective Members. Two, if you remember, post-2015, after the amendment of the NG-CDF Act, Members of Parliament ceased being patrons of the CDF committees in their respective constituencies. I see a danger if as a House, we now start resolving that we cannot transact business to do with membership of a CDF committee because the Member representing that constituency is not in the House. Reason is simple: By the time these names arrive on this Floor, they have gone through a very rigorous process that we put in the Act. They are vetted at the local level. The positions are advertised, people apply and vetted. By the time the names are cleared by the CDF Board to come here for approval, it means that Tryphosa Ngobiro Muyodi, for example, has been vetted and someone in Nambale Constituency has ascertained that this is a female youth. Hon. Speaker, I want to beg your indulgence to allow the Chairman to proceed with this Motion. Understandably, today being the last day of this Session, a number of Members are not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
