Members, you will appreciate that we are really behind schedule, and we have two statements. One is from the hon. Minister for Education; before I invite him, there is a letter tabled by hon. Gitari, which is about House committee membership. He has signed his own letter asking the Speaker how long a Member is supposed to take before being nominated to the House committees. He has also attached a letter that is supposed to be coming from the Acting Government Chief Whip. But the one from the Acting Government Chief Whip is not signed. So, I will request him to go and look for that signature, if the Chair is to consider his request."}
