    "content": "The proposal by Hon. Keynan runs counter to that because it says: “Members who will be nominated to serve in the Public Accounts Committee at the commencement of any Parliament shall serve for the term of that Parliament.” So, I need to explain that to Members. At times, I have had Members use the word “Session” when they mean “Sitting”. I have had it used interchangeably. However, a Session is 12 months. What Hon. Gikaria is suggesting is a situation that used to obtain in the 7th, 8th and 9th Parliaments. Allow me to give you this information because I chaired the Committee you are now chairing. So, I know it was the position in the 7th, 8th and 9th but that has since changed. We need to be clear when we are debating this particular standing order. The proposal by Hon. Gikaria, which is the proposal from the Committee is about one Session, which is 12 months. We need to debate that and if it is defeated, we will move to Hon. Keynan’s proposal."
