    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 171(1), this House approves the appointment of the following Members to the House Business Committee (HBC) in addition to those specified under paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) – (i) The Hon. Amos Kimunya, EGH, M.P; (ii) The Hon. Joyce Akai Emanikor, M.P; (iii) The Hon. Shadrack John Mose, M.P; (iv) The Hon. Kawira Mwangaza, M.P; (v) The Hon. Omboko Milemba, M.P; (vi) The Hon. Mishi Khamis Mboko, M.P; and, (vii) The Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu, M.P. Standing Order 171(1) specifies the Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party, the Majority Whip and the Minority Whip. For record purpose, in the Constitution, I come ahead of the Leader of the Minority Party. He is junior to me. Article 108 of the Constitution puts it very clearly. Hon. Mbadi, you must prepare yourself psychologically. You are below the Leader of the Majority. The order is the Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party and then the Leader of the Minority. Hon.

Members are aware that the HBC is a sessional committee pursuant to Standing Order 171 (1) and each parliamentary party is required to nominate members for the approval of the House at the commencement of every session. We are now beginning a new session. It is in this regard that I move this Motion. Tomorrow, we will bring the rest of the sessional Committee Members which we have constituted. The HBC being a very crucial committee that is mandated to set the business agenda of the House, I urge Members to approve. In fact, that is the only substantive business we have this afternoon. Once we conclude this business, the House will adjourn so that the HBC, chaired by the Speaker, can go to Room 9 and set the business of the week and the future. It will be very good that the House approves these Members so that in the next one hour or so we can discuss the next agenda. Hon. Mbadi is my neighbour, and I really felt for him. He was very emotional. In fact, I realised that to lose a car and security is a serious matter. Hon. Junet is a pastoralist; security is not a problem for him, but Hon. Mbadi was very emotional about the withdrawal of his security detail and car. If he behaves well between now and the next few weeks, I will consider...
