    "content": "provides very well: They were to share Executive positions in Cabinet, which they never got. But more importantly, it clearly provides that the coalition was to share various leadership positions in legislatures, positions such as Leader of the Minority Party, or Majority Party if they had won; whips; chairs of committees that would be available to the commission. It is very clear in that Article 10 of the coalition agreement. As is the normal practice, the House Business Committee met, and indeed every Thursday the Leader of the Majority Party in this House reads to the House the resolutions of the HBC showing the business that is going to be available to the House for the coming week. Therefore, it was agreed last night that there was need again to adjourn but allow Hon. John Mbadi, Hon. Junet and Hon. Makali Mulu to consult their superiors further but provide the names by midday today so that the Leader of the Majority Party, on behalf of the HBC, would give notice of Motion of the names that he would have received. Indeed, I confirm that the names that I have received from Jubilee are the ones that were read out. The name that I have received from the Wiper Democratic Movement, through their Chairman and Secretary-General is that of Hon. Ben Momanyi. I think it is only fair that we appreciate the procedures. That the Leader of the Majority Party has not nominated Hon. John Mbadi or, indeed, even the names that he presented from his party. All of those names will be before the House; it is up to the House to make what it desires to do with them. It is only fair that we put the record straight. Hon. Ben Momanyi has not been nominated by the Leader of the Majority Party. The Leader of the Majority Party moves several Motions here on behalf of the HBC. He gave notice about the various sessional papers that we have discussed on behalf of the HBC. That is what has happened. Unless, Members, you want to adopt a different procedure, which would then mean that we amend the Standing Orders. For the time being, until such amendment is moved and carried, we will continue moving in the manner that we have always moved, both in the last Parliament and in this one. I thank you. I do not think there is need for further clarification on this matter."
