"content": "Hon. Speaker, I do not know how to address this matter seriously because it is putting this House, especially the membership of this House, at crossroads. The major reasons we are in this House are three: legislation, representation and oversight. We all agree that you cannot be in this House and belong to no committee and claim that you are doing oversight. You cannot do oversight here on the Floor of the House. It is only prudent that even if our Members, because we have dissenting voices and rebellious people everywhere--- I am a rebel in the Jubilee but I still serve in very important committees. They still tolerate me. I even differ with the Leader of the Majority Party who is supposed to de-whip me and also with the Chair whom we sometimes go to physical fights but they still tolerate me. I do not know whether they tolerate me because of the damage I might cause if they drop me or because they are tolerant."
