    "content": "Hon. Members, I know you have been a way for two weeks and you may not have refreshed your memories on the Standing Orders. Hon. John Mbadi rose in his place on a point of order. Therefore, while seated, you cannot claim to have points of information or points of order. I know that because of the two weeks recess, you may have had a lot of problems with the villagers. Please, just refresh yourselves. Hon. John Mbadi, the law must be followed as it says. Indeed, this particular law was enacted by your good selves in the last Parliament, in 2016. More importantly, I recall that Hon. John Mbadi took active part in the confirmation of the Chairman of the Board of the National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) in the 11th Parliament. So, I am sure the two of them must apply mutatis mutandis. So, since it is a law that we passed for ourselves, it will apply until such time that we will amend it. There is nothing to worry about the nominee for the time being. I cannot assume powers that I do not have. Under that law, you provided that it is only the President who will have the authority to nominate and appoint with the approval of the National Assembly. That is the specific provision in that Act. Since it is so fresh, we can still revisit it and a few others. For the time being, let us follow the law as it is. Next Order!"
