    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter might require a proper communication from the Chair because we have migrated from the old Constitution where we did not have a Senate to the current one. It has been our practice that Ministers would not only sit on the right of the Chair but they would also address the House from the Dispatch Box. Maybe in our set up, you need to tell us whether the Chairs will again be taking the front rows and sit on the side of the Government and whether they will be speaking from the Dispatch Box. As you do so, you and I have been in this business for a while and we know that the former Speaker Kaparo ruled that in the House, anybody can sit anywhere and only said that it is only the Ministers who would then sit on the right side and speak from the Dispatch Box while sitting on the Front Row. It is important that we be clear and also because you have allowed me, may I kindly remind my brother, Sen. Wako, that the meaning of being in the minority, it means that you ran on a party whose presidential candidate did not win an election; he lost. It is because hon. Raila Odinga and hon. Mudavadi lost. We should all be this way facing the Government."
