    "content": "Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had just moved. While it was being seconded, the issue of quorum was raised. After due consultation among ourselves, taking into consideration that the Senate did pass this Report without amendments, I wish to withdraw the amendment because it is still not a property of the House under Standing Order No.51 read together with Standing Order No.54. Having consulted, it is apparent that I did not have to consult the Leader of the Majority Party because he assumed powers--- The other Member of Parliament and the Chairman has come back. He has resumed his position. The reason I feel I should withdraw this amendment is that, if it goes through, having been passed by the Senate without any amendment, the implications are obvious. We will have to wait for the next six months before this Motion can be brought to this House. In that regard, it is my humble request to my colleagues that they take our decision and my decision as the Whip of the Minority Party to withdraw my amendment in good taste and faith. It has no other implications. It is so that we can move forward so that by next week, we can have the names, which can be debated and the voting can go on so that we do not stop matters in the EALA. I withdraw."
