    "content": "The Procedure and House Rules Committee sat and deliberated on this matter. The first thing that we wanted to make sure is that this does not violate the Constitution. Secondly, this is not a re-introduction of parliamentary system through the backdoor. Many of the CSs find this to be a very useful tool for espousing what they do in the course of their work. So, it is advantageous to Members, CSs and constituents. Standing Order No.208 mandates the Procedure and House Rules Committee to, among other things, consider and report on all matters relating to the Standing Orders. Additionally, Standing Order No.262 provides that the Procedure and House Rules Committee may at any time propose amendments to the Standing Orders. That is the choice that we took. There are many ways through which we can introduce changes to the Standing Orders. Hon. Members can do it. After listening to the HBC, the Procedure and House Rules Committee felt that the best way was to proceed and propose changes. That is what we have done."
