    "content": " Order, Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko! As you know, this is supposed to be an amendment and there is really not a long story. We are all aware of the facts. Hon. Members, first of all, you heard me ask Mr. Muite his exact objectives for this amendment. Rule 8(2), indeed, allows this House to move amendments to any Motion brought on the Floor of the House. In other words, hon. Members are free to bring amendments to change 1686 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 29, 2007 wording, put a comma, renumber, rename and so on. That is an important part because hon. Members are free to make the necessary amendments. However, Rule 8(3) is quite specific, in my opinion. It says that if you have to substitute nominees, then you have to be a party leader, Leader of Government Business or Leader of the Official Opposition. The effects of allowing the proposed amendment by Mr. Muite is to achieve what cannot be achieved under Rule 8(3). Honestly, I think it is not fair that what you cannot get from the front, you get from the back. I, therefore, rule this amendment to be invalid."
