    "content": "Hon. Shebesh is in order to move the amendment. However, we cannot run this House like a market. We were 28 Members in a committee that was chaired by you. A question has been raised by hon. Members: Why did we reject this particular lady? The Leader of the Majority Party was given a chance to answer, but he never did so. I personally cannot agree that the blabbering by the Leader of the Majority Party carried the whole of the Committee along. It looks bad. We are here and we want to say why we rejected the name before amendments are made. It is only fair that way. Secondly, it is going to be the first time hon. Members are debating without Members having fully interrogated a report. It looks bad. I beg you to give some of us an opportunity to articulate how we unanimously arrived at a decision to reject one of the nominees. It is only fair to do so. It will look like we did it for flimsy reasons, yet there are very good reasons why the Committee twice, and not once, rejected this particular nominee. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg that you give me a chance as a Member of that Committee to put the record straight. It will also save your image. I thank you."
