    "content": "Very briefly, we are bringing these names because of four fundamental reasons. One, the CDF Act has been changed to allow more Members to be nominated. Two, the two joint committees between the National Assembly and the Senate have now been composed. Initially, we had the list from the Senate and we have brought the list from the National Assembly. These are the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity and the Committee on Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library. There was an amendment which was done on the law on the Committee on House privileges, which again, made us to increase the membership. Finally, to create some equity and balance among the general 349 Members, so that each and every Member of this House can be in one Departmental Committee and one Select Committee. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not seeing my colleague, the Leader of Minority Party, I do not know where he is. He must be watching me because he is the one who raised issues last time. He should have been here today to second my Motion; but the able Whip of Majority Party and the Minority Whip and his deputy are here. I am sure they have the concurrence of their leader and that makes us to complete this exercise that has delayed for the last six months. So, this is a very simple matter before the House today. It is about changes that we have made since 16th May, 2013 and I will ask the Whip of the Minority Party, the hon. Mung’aro, to second so that we can go and do the other businesses."
