What you may have said in a Select Committee may or may not have a bearing in the Committee of the whole House because this is Committee in plenary. Yes, there is some doctrine that if you are a Member of the Committee, it is not tidy to come and disagree with your report. Until I see the text very clearly, I am unable to make a decision on this issue. About the sections of law, you have not raised them to my attention and so I am unable to make a decision on it. Therefore, the direction is that the Chair is unable to make a direction that you have requested. Let us move on. Where were we until that came? That was directions. I want to put this to vote. Member for Laikipia East, do not appear to be appealing on the decision of the Chair, is it a fresh issue?"}
