    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the other committees that also need to be created by hon. Members, like the HIV/AIDS Control Committee, this is the opportune time to do so. Quite a number of hon. Members have not done so. The other committees are the Constituencies Bursary Committee. We also need to create those committees. If I may inform hon. Members, if they are not aware, the Ministry of Education has remitted the bursary money. It is there. So, let us go and distribute this money to the deserving cases. We also have Departmental Committees of Parliament. This is the time that they work. This is the time that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) looks at the accounts of the Government. This is the time that the Public Investments Committee (PIC) also gets the time without any interruption, so that it can look at all the investments the Government has done. So, for the sake of those Committees, hon. Members, let us adjourn so that we can give members of these Committees time to go and look at these issues. On the issue of the grand Opposition, either we are in a Coalition Government or we are not. If your party is a member of the Grand Coalition Government, you have no alternative. I think this is the failure of the party leaders. They need to crack the whip! If your party is in Government, how can you say you are in the Opposition? That is lack of party discipline! We must enforce party discipline. We must call on the party leaders to crack the whip on their hon. Members. This is 1050 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 14, 2008 where we are now failing. We must have discipline in the party. Either---"
