"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, may I also wade through the murky issue of parties whipping their members in his House since other members have been allowed to do so. Since there is the provision that mandates political parties to pick their Members who will be sitting in the committees of this House, it is in bad taste for members from the other side to impute improper motive and create bad blood amongst the members on this side. Such sentiments cast other parties in bad light. They erode the wisdom that informed the decision to mandate each political party to decide who sits in which committee. I do not think it is the mandate of any political party to ask another political party why it acted in a given manner. Party loyalty is important. I know that the Jubilee Coalition is very keen on this matter. The Leader of the Majority Party particularly is very keen on the issue of absolute loyalty to their coalition. The same must apply to the CORD coalition so that we can have absolute loyalty to our party."
