"content": "Indeed, what the Leader of the Majority Party has said is correct. Some of you will remember the many hours the House sat here as we revised the Standing Orders. We created the Special Funds Accounts Committee (SFAC) at the same level as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investments Committee (PIC) under Standing Order No.205(a), to be chaired by an Independent Member of Parliament. Therefore, I would want to encourage the Independent Members to begin lobbying among themselves as to who is going to chair that special committee. It is important. Even when Members are put in that committee, they should know that the chairperson must be an Independent Member of Parliament. As Members sponsored by political parties look at funds of political parties and reports from the Auditor- General, Independent Members will have an opportunity to grill leaders of political parties and hold them to account. Next Order."
