    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter and I think the issue of parties or partisanship should not be involved. I agree and I support Dr. Eseli’s proposition that the two Committees sit together but I want to caution the House that it should not appear that hon. Members are imposing terms on the IEBC. Their mandate is constitutional and independent. I need to draw your attention to Standing Order No.178 because the CIOC is constitutional. It has a separate mandate while the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is a Select Committee of the House. So while Members of the CIOC will join the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, you should issue directions on how they are going to conduct business because in my view, Standing Order No.178 comes into play so that we have an orderly meeting in view of the gravity of the situation."
