    "content": "looks into whatever proposal on the leadership of the Minority Party, the Majority Party, Independent Members, and all kinds of caucuses in this House. That Committee has representation from all sectors - the Majority Party, the Minority Party, the so-called “Independent Members”, small parties, non-Parliamentary parties, and all shades of representation in the House. We bring proposals from different sectors to that Committee chaired by the Leader of the Majority Party. We bring proposals from the Minority Party stating how we want to constitute committees. The Majority Party brings theirs. Independent Members have a voice there. That Committee decides whether to go back to redo or have an agreement. People vote in that committee if there is a stalemate. In this country, the whole idea of independence in this new Constitution needs to be relooked. How independent are Independent Members in this House? We know whom they align with when they come here. For instance, they joined the other side after the previous elections. They are confused now that there is a broad-based Government. Some were with us, but left us at night, not even during the day. I called and asked them where they had gone and they told me: “We are in Karen”. I asked: “Where in Karen?” They said: “Where the new President is”. I told them: “Okay, we shall meet later”."
