    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.174 is very clear on how you constitute parliamentary committees. This House cannot engage in this particular exercise because it is a waste of public time and money. Standing Order No.174(1) says: - âIn nominating Members to serve on a select committee, the Selection Committee shall ensure that the membership of each committee reflects the relative majorities of the seats held by each of the parliamentary parties in the National Assembly.â Hon. Speaker, Sir, it says âthe Selection Committee shall ensure.â Nobody here can do it differently. Nobody can purport to want to do it. You may wish but you will get nowhere. I think if there is leadership required at any one time it is now, and let us do it at this early stage. Do not tell us that you are doing us a favour. This is a fundamental issue. When hon. Members go out there, they even want to say that these are favours from Jubilee to CORD. That is a shame. It is a travesty. It cannot be a favour. Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you want us to find a solution I think both sides need to do what we did in the Tenth Parliament. I want to plead with my friend, hon. A.B. Duale that the media may be his friend today and he can use it to abuse, but they will be abusing him tomorrow. Let him not be so happy that we are cornered and answer us in the media away from the directions of the Speaker. Hon. Speaker, even your body language tells you how to relax or how not to relax and find a solution. Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is the duty of one, hon. A.B. Duale to lead this House because he leads the majority. We are willing to engage him so that we can find a solution. Any pretence that one side can form committees without the other is not viable or possible. You may want to think this way because you are used to impunity. Remember we are dealing with you after you have stolen our election victory. We are dealing with people who have really--- What is the problem? You have stolen our election victory and we are not supposed to be happy."
