I also plead with my colleagues that we pass the list as it is. The House was recalled one month earlier. Under normal circumstances, we are supposed to have a three month recess. However, because of the amount of work that we have for this country--- We have the new Constitution to deliver to this country. It is a waste of this country’s resources if we squabble over names of hon. Members of this House who are equally qualified to be Member of this Committee. It is also a waste of our time and yet we are paid by taxpayers to deliberate on issues that affect this county. I support the Motion. Let us pass this list as it is because parties have consulted. Consultation does not necessarily mean holding a meeting. You can consult as individuals within a group. I know that our party had a meeting which I attended that took about three hours. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
