    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended by deleting the following names: Ms. Safina Kwekwe Tsungu, Mr. Clarkson Otieno Karan, Mr. Augstine Chemonges Lotodo and Mrs. Catherine Ngima Kimura. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, through you, I ask hon. Members to lend me their ears. If you look at Rule of 5 of the Rules that we passed the other day, you will see that subrule 1 says:- \"In order to be validly nominated as a candidate for an election, a person shall be nominated by a parliamentary party, through its parliamentary group meeting---\" Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have two main objectives in moving this amendment. One, we owe it to the region that the Assembly should begin to meet immediately. We must unblock the impasse that is there. Two, it is not right to hold back the nominees of KANU because nobody is raising any questions about those nominees. It is not right to hold back the May 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1683 nominee of FORD(P) because no one is raising any question. The effect of this amendment, if passed by Members, will be that five Members elected by this National Assembly will immediately join the East African Legislative Assembly and they will have a quorum. They will pass the Budget and the work the of the East African Legislative Assembly will proceed. Two, those Members in respect of which there is no question will go and take their positions."
