"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, the issue I want to raise has to do with a ruling you have given. I need clarity because it is going to guide us throughout the life of this Parliament. You have just indicated to the Member for Laikipia that when a committee brings a report to the House, Members of the committee have a right to change their minds on it. A ruling has been made in this House before and during previous Parliaments to the effect that one was not allowed to change oneâs mind and that if one wished to dissent, one would just do so and keep quiet. So, just to guide us for purposes of future debate, I would request that you give direction as to whether it is actually in order for a Member of a committee who supported a report of that committee to come to the House and disown the same report. Meanwhile, from what I have heard from Cecily so far, she does not sound like she is opposing the report. She was giving reasons but my concern is that you give us direction in relation to the situation."
