    "content": "We must swallow our pride. That, indeed, is the position. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the names of hon. Nyachae and hon. Obwocha were presented to the Clerk of the National Assembly by hon. Nyachae who is the Leader of the political party called FORD(P). There is record to attest to that fact. When we first met as Whips, in the absence of hon. Dr. Bonaya Godana, we looked at the 18 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 22 March, 2006 strengths of various political parties in this House. From the Opposition side, FORD(P) presented two Members as its representatives in the House Business Committee. Likewise, we have continued to use the same representation in all Committees of this House other than the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which is set out by Standing Order No.147, as you rightly stated. For the case of the PAC, we had to get rid of the name of hon. M'Mukindia from that Committee and replaced it with that of hon. Twaha without actually being prodded by this House. It was only fair and right that we follow, to the letter, what that Standing Order requires. Therefore, the NARC Party, for which I am the Whip, presented its names according to the stated requirement which takes numbers into account."
