    "content": "doing the Committee of the whole House and a Chair or any Member who has an amendment must convince us because it is the procedure. You must convince all the Members here to either agree with you or reject an amendment. What usually happens with Chairs and I is we should carry a matrix. I have told Hon. Munyaka this is not about the Report, his legal officer must prepare a matrix for justification of the amendments. You know if your son goes to school and fails then tells you I did not read, that is not an excuse. I think what the Chair is saying, is that he has a Bill which I even traced and is at the Government Printer. If he cannot explain then he should withdraw and bring amendments in his major Bill so that we can move forward. You know, Hon. Nyikal is making a generalisation that Chairs are not prepared. If you are not prepared yet you have the Supplementary Order Paper, the rest of us with amendments must convince Members. So, because the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism is not prepared, we cannot judge all the other Members who are seated here. In the Fisheries Act, I want to introduce oceans and I have my reasons. So, I will convince the House and if it agrees with me, then that amendment will not be dropped. So, we need to move because we have business."
