"content": "Parliament, the chair was from the Opposition and the Government had one. In the Tenth Parliament, where we had the most extraordinary coalitions; bedfellows, the ODM had the majority. Hon. Khalwale who was in the PNU was the Chair. So, if it is about traditions and practices, even the raw copies of the Standing Orders of the Eighth and Ninth Parliaments and the revised Standing Orders of the Tenth Parliament were presented to the House Business Committee. Hon. Speaker, Sir, you chaired the House Business Committee. This is the top committee of this House that sets the agenda of the House. The leadership of both coalitions was there and we sat for three hours. We have agreed in principle and we have minutes to that effect. It is on this Floor that honesty, good leadership and integrity is presented. We left at 10.00 oâclock and you were chairing the meeting. The 29 members of the House Business Committee agreed and the list was to be tabled today. I want to confirm that the Jubilee Coalition has submitted names and we have a document that has been received by the Clerk. We are not part of the shenanigans that are going on. I want to read Standing Order Nos.205 and 206 and I want the House and the nation to hear. Standing Order No.205(5) says that:- â(5) The Public Accounts Committee shall elect a chairperson and vice- chairperson from amongst its membersâ."
