    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Hon. Oundo needs to know that whether an issue went through winnowing or not, this House carries precedence. A committee can bring an amendment and this House can reject it. So, it is upon the Mover of that particular amendment to convince the plenary. I want to agree with Hon. Wamunyinyi. We want to be convinced why the proposed amendment should be deleted because ordinarily, in terms of process, it should have been amended and where there is inadequacy as provided for in this Clause 31, we can put an amendment that we are doing it in line with the Judicial Service Commission and the tribunals. Now it is quasi-judicial . That should have been the case but the issue of deletion and coming up with a new clause is totally in contradiction with the procedure and the process of parliament proceedings. I am member of that Committee and this is where the legal team in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is supposed to have advised. The Chairman looks to be not well advised when coming to this. So, we cannot delete this in assumption that we are going to pass a New Clause 21. When you bring new clauses, the guidelines are totally different. Maybe, you can use your discretion under Standing Order No. 1 and allow the proposal so that we delete and replace and then that one is okay. However, we cannot delete with an assumption that we are going to have a new clause coming in. That is not the procedure. I want Hon. Oundo to note that. Even anticipation of debate is not allowed in line with our Standing Orders. So, we can only delete and replace with that clause that must be there. I thank you."
