    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- (i) By inserting the following words “subject to” and deleting the word “minority” appearing on the third line of the proposed Standing Order No.205 on page 8. (ii) Inserting the words “not forming government” after the word “parties” appearing on the fourth line of the proposed Standing Order No.205 on page 8. (iii) Deleting the word “minority” appearing on the fourth line of the proposed Standing Order No.206 on page 9. (iv) Inserting the words “not forming government” after the word “parties” appearing on the fourth line of the proposed Standing Order No.206 on page 9. Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is informed partly by what hon. Eseli has just talked about because we should not be making laws or creating Standing Orders that change every time the configuration of the Government changes. It is true that the Standing Order as it were before the amendment would serve very well in a case where the Government is formed by the minority in this House. As you also are aware that such a situation could exist in the future, it will be in order that we make this amendment now to ensure at each and every time those two watchdog committees are chaired by the party or the coalition of parties not forming Government."
