"content": "Apart from resolving any disputes related to the membership of the PSC, it will interest Members to note that pursuant to Article 215(2) of the Constitution, part of the membership of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) is also drawn from nominees of the Majority Party and Minority Parties in the House. This is the basis upon which the Standing Order was introduced in the last Parliament, so as to enable the Speaker to discern the undertakings made by the parties with regard to the positions available to the House: the sharing of nominees for appointment to Commissions such as the PSC and CRA, entitlement to positions in the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) and, where necessary, determining the relative majorities in the House. Journals of the House indicate that this provision was hardly intended to be used to resolve questions of which party or coalition of parties has sufficient numbers in this House, so as to be entitled to elect the Leader of the Majority Party."
