    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I beg to second the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. Having said that, I am shocked that Hon. Wamboka was masquerading as the Leader of the Minority Party in this House in my absence. This is bad manners and very dangerous. Actually, it is treasonous because this is a man who came to Parliament the other day. I am the one who showed him the washrooms and where food is taken. I took him everywhere. I am really shocked that he is now masquerading as the Leader of the Minority Party in my absence. I will deal with him in accordance with the Standing Orders. There are committees whose term has lapsed, such as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Public Investment Committees, Public Accounts Committee and others. However, there are other committees whose term has not lapsed. Therefore, there was some kind of agitation in the House by some Members to contest for positions in committees whose chairpersons or vice-chairpersons are in office legally. What we are currently having is just a small, mini or mid-term election. The general election is coming up later, so hold your horses. The real election is ahead of us. The Standing Order is very clear that there are committees that serve for two years and their term has lapsed. However, the committees that are supposed to serve a full-term cannot be subjected to an election. Their term will lapse at the end of five years. This is the clarification that the Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party is making. I have seen some chairpersons who are under threats. Members are even campaigning for the position of Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. I was wondering when his term ended. If you look at him today, he looks malnourished and worried. So, this Motion is going to protect and defend him. With those few remarks, I second."
