    "content": "It is called “Members’ Services and Facilities”. Those of you who served in the 11th Parliament will know my friend and my leader Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo was a very active member of this committee. If there is any committee from which you do not take stress home and you just grow fatter and fat, it is to be in this committee. We have realigned the Standing Orders with the Standing Orders of the other House. We used to have joint committees. They are now not necessary because the other House has taken away those titles and committees. So, we do not need to have those committees. We have also proposed some of the mandates on the Committee on Selection. It must work in consultation with parliamentary parties at the commencement of Parliament. We have also established two committees. I am on page 189 of the Order Paper, if you come with me. There is the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity. There is no better time than this that we need a Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity. If we are not going to speak properly about cohesion; if we are not going to have a parliamentary select committee that will hold leaders accountable in terms of national cohesion and equal opportunity, you will always hear this talk of secession that is really ringing in my ear and is making a lot of music in my ear. If we are not going to have a way in which we are going to lead from the front, it is not good. There are people who talk about cohesion and people who do something about cohesion. Talking about it is one thing but, doing something about it is another. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
