    "content": "he can use, that cannot be an issue. What the Leader of the Majority Party said is that if a Member purports to occupy an office that he is not dully appointed to occupy by his coalition, he cannot enjoy the benefit of utilising resources of the House availed to that office. That is what Hon. Duale said. Therefore, I pray that you find Hon. Mbadi out of order, because he appeared to be challenging your Communication, although he was seeking some direction. I think Standing Order No.20 is so clear. There is the use of the word ‘shall’. It reads: 20. (1) Thee Minority party or coalition of parties in the National Assembly shall elect— (a) a member of the National Assembly belonging to the party or coalition of parties to be the Leader of the Minority Party; Standing Order 20(1)(b) states: “(b) a member of the National Assembly belonging to the party or coalition of parties to be the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party.” Hon. Speaker, we need to spend the time of this House usefully and not engage in debate on issues which are very clear. Of course, I know that Hon. Mbadi is trying to save the situation, but I think it is important for us to move on as a House."
