    "content": "I am addressing hon. Chairlady. Of course, hon. (Maj-Gen) Nkaissery knows that we respect leadership, including himself when he was a General. We discussed this matter, but it would have been neater if we left this matter and deliberated upon it later when we come back from recess. That is because we have a number of concerns. We want all hon. Members to be present. There is misinterpretation. I do not know the advice that was given to the President. We believe that it was not good advice with regard to particular amendments here and I think if the House was properly briefed, I am sure we would get the numbers. I do not think the President intended it to be that way. For instance, it is about one chief executive officer of the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission. The CEO is appointed with the approval of the House. We had recommended that the CEO be removed with the approval of the House. Now, someone is saying that the CEO can just be removed after the House has approved. That is unprocedural and unconstitutional. So, I was suggesting - and I totally concur with the Deputy Leader of Minority Party - that we stand down this until Tuesday when we come back."
