    "content": "In case you have not seen it, I want to tell you what it contains. The Supplementary Order Paper seeks to have the Leader of Government Business introduce a Motion in connection with appointment of Members of the East African Legislative Assembly. However, having looked at the Rules on the appointment of Members of the East African Legislative Assembly, which we approved yesterday, particularly Rule 8, I find that no notice of this Motion has been given. For the information of hon. Members, Rule 8 provides as follows:- \"Upon the House Business Committee being satisfied that the requirements of Rule 7 have been complied with, the Chairperson of the House Business Committee, or any other authorised Member of the Committee, shall give notice of a Motion seeking election of the nominees to the East African Legislative Assembly.\" What it means is that this Supplementary Order Paper, as it is now, which seeks to have the Leader of Government Business introduce the Motion, contravenes that provision of Rule 8 because no notice of that Motion has been given. Accordingly, I hereby rule that this Supplementary Order Paper will not be valid in this House. So, we will proceed as per the original Order Paper. Next Order!"
