A few months ago, as it has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party, you wrote to us in the HBC. CORD was asked to give a recommendation. That has not been forthcoming because of our own considerations. Standing Order No. 16 states that in that appointment, there shall be consultation with the leadership of the parliamentary parties. I raised that issue yesterday. I have since spoken with Hon. Nyenze and nobody consulted him. Hon. Mwadeghu was with me in the HBC but he was not also consulted. Hon. Wamalwa and I have not been consulted. This is a House of rules. I will keep my trend of thought if you protect me from Hon. Savula. Yesterday, the Leader of the Majority Party moved a Motion on the Floor that we never saw in the HBC. Today, he has brought the same Motion in an amended form before it is moved. This is a House of rules and procedures. We understand you can have your way. After this Motion was moved and I contested that we needed to do it procedurally, off the record, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Deputy Chief-Whip, Hon. Washiali were saying that: “We have done it so that you can deal with the Luhyas.” It is good to play politics but this is our slot"}
