    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the CDF Act is very clear on the term which the members of this committee are supposed to serve; if I may read subsection (2) of Section 27. It says that:- “In determining the membership of the CDF committee, the National Assembly shall ensure proportionate representation of the parliamentary political parties, provided that the term of office of members of the committee shall be three years renewable, or upon the appointment of a new committee in the manner provided for in this Act.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Act says that the members will serve for three years, and the three years have not expired after the commencement of the Standing Orders. So, the purported appointment of a new committee for CDF is not in tandem with the Standing Orders and the CDF Act. I wish that you rule that it is against the Act and the Standing Orders."
