    "content": "Hon. Members, I am not saying they must be these ones. If the coalitions decide to change, they are at liberty to. The Motion is still active. You can make whatever decision you want to make. However, for the time being, because this issue has been raised, it is fair we get a proper communication from the NASA Coalition and also one from the Wiper Democratic Party (WDP). Yes, you raised a pertinent issue that as a party, you are a parliamentary party and you are, therefore, entitled to a slot. However, you are also a member of the NASA Coalition. Do you want to have your cake on this side and still eat it? You are either in the coalition or not. If you want to be recognised as a political party in terms of the Standing Orders, then you cannot be yet you are actually a coalition. So, you must go and discuss that matter and write to the House and let the House debate the matter in full knowledge of our understanding. Hon. Junet said the coalition is capable of resolution and I think it is. You should be able to sit and agree. We do not want to have communication from one executive officer. You are the leaders of these parties. Let them jointly communicate that way. When the leadership of your coalition partners jointly write that letter, of course, none of you would be at liberty now to start claiming something under the carpet. Your fate would have been sealed. Therefore, for the convenience of the House and because this Chamber has to be configured to permit for the voting for our representatives to EALA, who are due to be sworn in on Monday, 18th, it means that that business must be concluded today and we move forward. I suspect Hon. Soipan will be accompanying them to Arusha to witness their swearing in if she is available. I hope she is here. Hon. Members, I adjourn debate on this Motion and the House."
