Members, with hindsight, maybe, the House may have to rue its decision on defeating a Motion by Hon. David Ochieng. It looks like doing nominations and coming to sit is becoming a big challenge. I think the House should just be adjourned and people do nominations so that those who win continue campaigning, and those who lose can continue doing some other things in the village without requiring them to come and perform. One, as you sit, it is as a representative. If you have lost in your nominations and you have decided you are not even going to pursue the matter, you sit here as who? Are you representing? I think this is something the country really needs to think about. I think it is a big challenge to both the House and various other agencies that may require the House to make certain decisions on their behalf. Nevertheless, I believe there are other members of that committee who are present. Is there any one from the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade? Have all members of that committee lost interest in the business in the House?"
