"content": "committees will elect their chairs. It is not as explicit as it used to be. But being a Jubilee Coalition, which is transparent and we have nothing to hide, we went out of our way and agreed that CORD should chair both committees, even if the Standing Orders do not say so. Secondly, after we agreed on that, they came back the following day and said: âNow that you have given us the chair, can you use the same spirit to give us the majority in the two Committees?â It is good that I explain very well that the membership of those two committees is 27. Based on party strength, Jubilee will take 17 and CORD will take ten. In the House Business Committee, which my colleagues are referring to, we were in a way too generous as Jubilee and out of 17 in each committee we donated three more to them making a composition of 14 members from Jubilee and 13 from CORD, as well as the chair of the committee. We reached a consensus in the House Business Committee on the names and we brought them to the House today. This morning, they were saying: âWe will only bring the names to the House if CORD gets 14 and Jubilee 13â. That is the position we are in."
