    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the Minister has cited the CDF Act, there is a small point of law about that Act which is disturbing me; maybe the Minister could tell us whether they satisfied themselves about the same. There is a proviso that once appointed, members of the CDF committee should serve for three years. You will recall that the last time this committee was constituted was on 17th June, 2009. The small point of law I am arguing is that if they were constituted on 17th June, 2009, it means their tenure will expire on 17th June,2012. How come we are now in the process of reconstituting it when its term has not expired? I have a communiqué here from the office of the Legal Counsel of Parliament who has given his legal opinion about this little point of law. Last week I took the trouble to give a copy of this opinion to the Chief Whip, hon. Muthama. Did you use this legal opinion in the HBC, and if you did, what did you decide. I table it."
