Standing Order No.169 requires that any Select Committee meets, at least, once a month. The Speaker’s Committee, of which I am a Member, only met once since its establishment. This is once in four years. I stand here to seek the guidance on the Procedural Motion. Would I be in order to ask; what are the mandates or the duties of the Speaker’s Committee while appointing new Members who will not even have a chance to meet and deliberate on the matters that are given to them by this House?"}
