    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The ruling was intelligent and well thought-out. I see the intention to protect every Member of this House, so that they can exercise Article 95 of the Constitution where they have to play oversight role. However, somehow, that will open a pandora’s box. If the intention is for every Member to be in a Committee to offer oversight, then if you belong to a political party and you misbehave – we know that the law allows the Whip to de-whip Members – you can be de-whipped. Therefore, for such MPs, they will not be able to serve and do what they wish and yet, those that are independent MPs and those in smaller parties will continue being in Committees for five years. So, I do not know how you would like to deal with that going into the future? Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
