    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, allow me to convince Members to oppose Clause 41 (b) on the issue of the election of the chairperson. When we allow this chairperson to be elected by the other persons, it will need that person to be very strong. He will be a very strong chairperson because he will be deriving his power from amongst those people. The best thing would have been that we leave this issue to regulations. In any event it does not make sense for us. We have not created the procedure of appointment of these people and now we are proceeding to create a procedure of appointing a chairperson. This is an issue that should be left to regulations. A chairperson is one who can kick you out of your constituency next time. Do not allow this person to be elected by his other members. I am of the view that we drop Clause 41(b). We should say that we put that to regulation. Please, be fair."
