    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second this Motion, which is on the appointment of Members to various Committees. It has arisen due to the re-organisation which we felt was necessary. More so, it is when the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) fraternity felt that the analytical skills that some of our Members have, have been missing in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Let me be straightforward on this one. It was generally felt that there was need to inject that synergy, hence the moving of Hon. John Mbadi and Dr. Makali to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I got presentations from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade that Hon. Toboso and Hon. Olum, who are spearheading issues in the tourism sector and have since been moved, should be taken back to that Committee. It is important that the House benefits from the knowledge that certain Members have. In so doing, we have considered the entire membership. It is not easy to change Members around. It has its own problems and challenges. I seek the indulgence of hon. Members. If there is anyone who is not satisfied, let them come to my office on Tuesday. It is always open. We can discuss it further so that we achieve our main objective of making sure that Parliament benefits from the various skills that are embodied in the different Hon. Members. I stand to second the Motion."
