    "content": "Order, Mr. Linturi! If you study the Standing Orders very well, there is no official Opposition in this House now! Official Opposition, as provided for in the Standing Orders, can only qualify to be one if it has 30 Members or more. Under the current circumstances of the Party of National Unity (PNU) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), no party has that position. All the parties, with the exception of Mr. Jirongo's party, are in the Government. Hon. Members, this is a weighty matter. The only thing that is provided for right now under the Standing Orders is the reservation of the Front Benches for the Members of the Government, and that the Chair has ruled on. There cannot be another reservation, because no party can qualify to be an Official Opposition party. Until the ruling is made by the Chair on Thursday. much more than this, in my opinion is the composition of the committees and the chairmanship of those committees. There is going to be a considered ruling on that. In the meantime, the matter shall be put to rest. Let us proceed."
