    "content": "On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When I look on the Order Paper, the fact that hon. Chanzu is not there, it means there is no further business this afternoon. I want to put on record that Members of the Back Bench have nothing to do with failure of the Government to bring business before the House. We remember that as Members of this House, we have had an opportunity to pass through First Reading the Chief’s (Amendment) Bill, the Wildlife Management Conservation Bill, the Tea (Amendment) Bill, and then the Finance Bill and finally, the Insurance of Motor Vehicles Bill. These Bills are awaiting the Government to bring them before us so that we can do business for the country. In view of the fact that we do not have a Leader of Government Business, and in view of the fantastic ruling that the Chair made that time when there was a stalemate, has it not come to time when the Chair should review that position since it is difficult to decide who between the Prime Minister and the Vice President deserves to be Leader of Government Business, such that now the Chair improves on the ruling by saying that half of the year, the Prime Minister will be dealing with the Leader of Government Business and the balance of the time, the Vice President? That way, the country can know who is failing Government. Some of these people want to be presidents in 2012. If they are unable to lead Government business in this important institution, then we will find ground to disqualify them for any presidential ambitions in future."
