    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am really a disturbed man. I would not like to be here to contravene the same Standing Orders we have enacted. With due regard to your ruling, you asked Mr. Lessonet to cite the Act that nominated him afresh to the Committee when it says: “--- in the manner provided for in this Act or whichever comes earlier.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Section 27(1) of that same Act states: “The National Assembly shall in accordance with its Standing Orders---” Because we promulgated the Standing Orders, it was the realized that all the Committees be reconstituted afresh. When the Chief Whip moved the Motion that day, he did not make it explicit that because of the Act that governs the CDF that the CDF Committee will continue with its work. He only said that he is providing the list of nominees for approval. That seemed to us to be automatic re-appointment because of the realization that we were having new Standing Orders in place. In essence, the CDF Committee was duly reappointed on 27th June, 2009. So, it will be unrealistic for us to come and reconstitute afresh a committee whose mandate and term has not expired. I have a problem with this."
