"content": "In that respect, for now it may not look so fundamental with the benefit of the handshake but I want us to look back before the handshake and wonder whether Hon. Aden Duale would be smiling with me the way he is smiling right now. My worry therefore is, if we do that, it is a subjugation that might be challenged. It does not detract from the totality of the amendments. That is why, Hon. Speaker, I would wish to invoke Standing Order No. 52, which allows you, in exceptional circumstances, to allow an amendment if it is necessary any time before the debate on the Motion is finalised. To that extent, I crave your leave so that wherever the words “Leader of the Majority Party” appear in Standing Order Nos 42A (5) and (6), it should read “Leader of the Majority Party in consultation with the Leader of the Minority Party.” That way, we do not stand the danger of subjugating the minority to the majority or of contravening the Constitution. However, overall, I support these amendments."
