    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I very much understand the matter of the Motion. The matter of the Motion is for Sen. Elachi and Sen. Ali Abdi Bule to be appointed to these committees and be approved by this House. In the Motion moved by the Senate Majority Leader, he introduced issues that cannot go undebated. We chose Sen. (Dr.) Kuti as our Chairman and we gave him all the nine votes. He is not a Member of my party but we thought he was fit for that position. We made a mistake in ignoring a very competent person who has actually served in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and who is very experienced in the labour movement to serve as Deputy Chairperson. I congratulate her for that. However, this House should not forget that proper leadership will give us the mileage of respect. We should not throw away experience and expertise and ability to lead to replace it with matters of parties and self-gratification. Otherwise, this House will make blunders when we go out there to the international community with a chairman who is not even fit to lead but because of party strength, he was chosen as a chairman of that parliamentary committee. You will be so ashamed."
