    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that guidance that the Motion is properly before the House and, therefore, we can debate it. I rise to support this Motion. In doing so, I am cognizant of the fact that we are 220 Members of Parliament and we are all eligible to be members of this Committee. But this Committee has only 27 members, so it is not possible for all of us to be members of this Committee. I personally called the Acting Chief Whip and told him I do not want to be considered to be a member and therefore I wish other people could do the same so that we can move forward. The seconder of the Motion has said that the ODM Party met and agreed on their list. Apparently, it appears as if there may not be much discussion on the issue. I am a member of the PNU and I would like to caution my fellow colleagues in PNU that we should not bring the confusion of PNU into this House. In other parties when the leader of the party has made a decision, the Members accept the decision. But we have a problem in PNU because when our leaders make a decision, the Members do not accept that decision. They dispute that decision but we must have discipline in PNU. When the leader of the party has made a decision, this should be accepted by all Members. That is the only way we can move forward."
