Wetangula","speaker_title":"December 3, 2015 SENATEDEBATES 21 The Senate Minority Leader","speaker":{"id":210,"legal_name":"Moses Masika Wetangula","slug":"moses-wetangula"},"content":" I have no difficulty with Sen. Sang being given the privilege and opportunity to sit on the Chair. However, in the tradition, practice and good order in the House, such a process ought to be consultative. At the very least, we have two sides. I would have expected my brother who is sitting in front of me, to consult with me. The authority to appoint panelists lies with the Speaker. However, when it comes to a situation such as this, where the House is obligated to make a decision, both sides should be involved. It is just decent that we do so. I am not opposing the Motion, but raising a concern that should make things neater in future. It is not right to take our side for granted; that we will acquiesce to anything that is proposed in the House."}
