    "content": "That is on a light touch. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you look at Clause 4, I have no problem with the order of precedence; (a) The President, (b) the Deputy President, (c) the Speakers of Parliament, (d) the Chief Justice, but (e) is where I have a problem. Unless the Mover brings an amendment, Article 108 of the Constitution creates the Offices of the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party. In the context of the National Assembly, Article 108 of the Constitution sets up precedence. It says that there shall be a Leader of the Majority Party and a Leader of the Minority Party. In (2), it says that the Leader of the Majority Party shall be the person who is the leader in the National Assembly of the largest party of coalition of parties. If you go further, it says the Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. Here, he is putting the Leader of the Minority Party and the Leader of the Majority Party at par. We even do not have the same shares in this House. My shareholding is bigger than that of the Leader of Minority Party. Having said that, unless the Mover amends (e), it should be the Leader of the Majority Party and then (f) becomes the Leader of the Minority Party. One day, hon. Keynan might become the Leader of the Majority Party. If he does not bring an amendment, then it becomes unconstitutional."
