"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. This Motion originated from the Committee on Selection. I am very sure that the country is pregnant with expectation of the subject matter of the full list of the Cabinet Secretaries; this House is also feeling the same in terms of tabling lists of Members of all the departmental committees. I want to put the record straight as to why we have not been able to bring to the House all the lists of the membership of the departmental committees and other committees of the House. It is because of the challenges we have faced as a Selection Committee, more so myself as the Majority Party Whip and my colleague on the other side, hon. Mungâaro. It is because of the slots available in these Committees. If you read the Standing Orders, you will appreciate that all the committees of this House have a total of 462 slots. For every hon. Member of this House to be in two committees, we need to have 698 slots. More importantly, this House has 12 departmental committees; as per the current Standing Orders, there are 19 slots in each of the departmental committees, making a total membership of 228. For each hon. Member of this House to be in one departmental committee,"
