    "content": "Leader of Minority side, Sen. Wetangula. We recognise him. For Sen. Murkomen’s information, we recognise Sen. Wetangula as our de facto leader. This House has rules and procedures. We have practices and traditions. We do not want to create a bad precedence this early. Sen. Murkomen, the Leader of Majority is creating a very bad impression that it is this side of the House that does not want monies to go to the counties. He is missing the point. I do not mind serving in that Committee. I am very passionate about the matter and that is why I raised the issue about monies going to our counties before we broke for recess. I am very passionate. I want to serve on that Committee, but I do not want to be a product of a bad procedure that we want to set in the 12th Parliament. We have leadership and I think Sen. Murkomen knows that. We need consultations. We are not going to run this House if that mutual respect and consultation is not going to be there. I will decline to serve until I am appointed through the right channels to this particular Committee. I will not be appointed by Sen. Murkomen. For the record, I was not consulted. He only walked up to me here and told me that he had put me on the Ad-Hoc Committee. That is not consultation. That is not my understanding of consultation. I, therefore, even before the Motion comes, just on the notice of the Motion, I decline and resist vehemently to serve on that particular Committee."
