"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have discussed this matter for more than one hour. I 22 March, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 29 believe we have been going in the right direction until the last few seconds. You said very clearly that the slots in the House Business Committee are shared on the basis of the merit to the parties. The problem we have been having in this Ninth Parliament is that of movement from one side of the House to the other side. You said very clearly that FORD(P) have moved in a structured basis from the Opposition side to the Government side and that they have their slots on the basis of the Standing Orders. The other confusion we have is that whilst we discussed the issue of structured movements from the Opposition to the Government, we never discussed the issue of structured or unstructured movement from the Government to the Opposition side. You said very rightfully, and I agree with you, that the issue of mathematics has no shortcuts because mathematics has got its own formula. We are treading on dangerous grounds when we talk about donations. Unless the Chief Whips are not telling us the truth, if they had sat down together and shared the slots on the basis of percentages and pro rata basis of the party formulation in this House, the issue of donations should not arise. If the Government Chief Whip in consultation with his party has nominated Mrs. Ngilu on behalf of the party, I do not understand how Mrs. Ngilu can donate a donation that was given to her. The onus is on the Whips."
