    "content": "You are right; the chairpersons are the spokespersons of the committees. When we handle deliberations in committees, the chairperson is supposed to bring the reports of our findings to the House, whether we were investigating, overseeing or whatever other work we were doing; but when a chairperson comes out to defend certain issues even before the committee has concluded its report, that defeats the logic of dealing with them. The chairperson may go further to prosecute the same matter in a matanga, or make Statements like: “we are going to sack some people working in the Judicial Service Commission,” and maybe the committee has not concluded its work. What happens in a case where the committee feels otherwise and says that those people should stay in office? You will remain with a label on your face as a Member of that House. The Members should remain united; most of those who speak in matangas are the ones who do not speak in this House. We do not know why they choose to speak out there on weekends. This used to be the domain of certain groups of Members. Now, other Members have taken over; it is also my domain since I talk a lot at matangas."
