    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not only a member of the Committee, but I am also the Deputy Whip on this side of the coalition. What Hon. Olago Aluoch has raised is something we have had a discussion on before. Personally, I had a discussion with Hon. Keynan to confirm whether it is, indeed, true that he has moved. The Standing Orders are very clear that the Chairman of PIC must come from the minority side. Hon. Keynan is not only the Chairman of PIC, but also a Commissioner at the Parliamentary Service Commission courtesy of the CORD coalition. So, when we had this discussion, we were to follow up with this. The Political Parties Act is very clear that when you get involved in any activity that, perhaps, suits the other side of the coalition, then you are deemed to have defected. It is something we would like to leave upon you to look at and give us communication on Tuesday."
