    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like my learned friend, Mr. Mungatana, I am also surprised at this turn of events. As far as the House is concerned, the ODM as a party has withdrawn its membership from this Committee. To that extent, therefore, this Committee does not exist anymore. As things are now, it does not exist. It is illegal. What needs to be done would be for the names to be brought by way of a Motion to this House. To do that, we would have to comply very strictly with Standing Order No.160 as read together with Articles 1, 2, 4(2), 10, 94(4) and 124 of the Constitution. Basically, the sections talk of procedure of nomination of Members to House Committees, looking at the strength each party. It is, therefore, not right that the Leader of Government Business should purport to reconstitute this Committee the way they have tried to do. That is not right. I kindly urge you not to accept the list that has purported been brought to the House this afternoon, so that the Leader of Government Business goes back to the HBC, consults again properly and widely as was said by Mr. Kimunya last time and then brings the names, according to Standing Orders."
