    "content": "However, the Speaker cannot be the one to resurrect any proposed amendments that were not moved. The Speaker will be assuming a power that he does not have. Hon. Duale and other Members who may have amendments – I do not know how many had amendments – you will be at liberty to apply for recommittal. That request will be subjected to the usual parliamentary processes. The House has to agree or not agree to the recommittal. So, the Speaker cannot be the one used to now reopen that bit. Hon. Duale and other Members who had amendments to Clause 7, you still have a right to apply for a recommittal. In any event, the decision to recommit would be by the same House which will either carry or not carry the amendments. That is a neater way as opposed to getting the Speaker to come into the way to invalidate a vote that has already been taken. Hon. Duale, your right, which you appear to have sat on or forgotten that day, is not lost entirely. You still have the opportunity to apply for recommittal. That would be the best procedural way to go about it. Hon. Members, let us now move away from preliminary issues and move to business."
