    "content": "Member shall be the Mover. Therefore, the hierarchy established in that Standing Order is that the Vice Chairperson moves in the absence of the Chairperson and only when the Vice Chairperson is not available, that is when an ordinary Member of the Committee moves. If you read that Standing Order properly, you will see the one to identify who else, other than the Vice Chairperson, to move the Motion is not the Chairperson but the Committee. Therefore, there must be some proof that the Mover of this Motion has been given authority by the Committee for reasons which the Committee has given or identified to move the Motion. Having said so, Hon. Senators, I must admit that I am extremely disappointed, especially by the Senate County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC), which ordinarily has been doing very well. However, what you have taken us through today is not good. Being very disorganized and speaking at cross purposes is not good. The Committee should have some form of collective responsibility. When there are some disagreements among Members, the best way of processing those disagreements is through a Minority Report, so that it is hygienic. I, therefore, want to encourage Hon. Senators that, going forward, we should take our work seriously, because we are leaders in this country and this House is looked upon extremely seriously by its citizens. I do not want to pre-empt Sen. Wetangula‟s Motion, because the issues he is raising are issues which I am sure this Senate will also articulate itself on perhaps better than others have done."
