    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support hon. Ogalo. This House should have dignity. We should not change rules for our convenience. I contemplate a situation like in the last Tenth Parliament where the Party of National Union (PNU) was the Government in power but the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) had more Members of Parliament than PNU. A situation might arise for it is very difficult in Africa to remove a Government in power. Next time the Jubilee Government might be defeated but they will still have more votes but less Members in Parliament. So, we do not want to have a situation where a party, just because they have a majority and because they are not in power, will take these positions. I suggest that sections of these Standing Orders be deleted and amended appropriately so that they reflect the correct position."
