    "content": "Public Accounts Committee.” This will be done on the priority of how they come to the House, namely, on first-come, first-served basis. The HBC also makes decisions and gives directives and guidelines on the priority of business. The committee can decide and have powers to say: “No, we will not debate your Motion, a Private Member’s Bill or a Government Bill based on some reasons”. Finally, the committee considers such matters, as may come from time to time, concerning the business of the House. The committee has a membership of 12. Five are in the Standing Orders and seven from the general membership. The Jubilee Coalition has four Members as you see on the Order Paper. Our colleagues, the minority party or coalition party has three Members. The quorum is five. If they do not bring their names, the Committee will still sit. From now, the committee is going to sit and make decisions because it has four Members, plus myself to make five, my whip and the Speaker, which makes seven. We are past the quorum and so the earlier the better. I can see the Chairman of the ODM and I am told he is the most likely candidate for the Leader of the Minority Party. I pray for you because you are up to the task. You have the capacity. You have the experience to lead that coalition. I also want to work with you. You know, after my twin brother was sent home, namely, Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, we need to get another Jakoyo in this House. The closest person to Jakoyo is Hon. John Mbadi. If at all Baba is watching me, I just want to make a suggestion to him as a good citizen. We are citizens and good leaders. I want to ask Baba, who has sacrificed a lot for his party and contributed a lot for this party in the last parliaments, to please, consider with utmost respect, the candidature of Hon. John Mbadi as the Leader of the Minority Party so that our colleagues can bring the names this afternoon. We will approve the names."
