While doing so, I want to say the following: The Members of Parliament called for this committee. In the Ninth Parliament, we had a Speaker’s Committee in charge of catering, which had been there since 1967. But when the health club was created we also formed a Speaker’ Committee to run it. This health club, which the public and the media keeps talking about, that hon. Members are over- privileged to have, although they pay dearly for it, is very poorly run. If you talk to the staff there, they will tell you that they do not have powers to do certain things."},{"id":5344,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5344/?format=json","text_counter":340,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mr. Midiwo","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":184,"legal_name":"Washington Jakoyo Midiwo","slug":"jakoyo-midiwo"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, those of us who frequent that gym know that even the towels we use there are hand washed; that is below the leve of this National Assembly. We also know that the money which we pay in the restaurants, there is no committee to approve how we can spend it. So, we want to put the two committees together. We have said that this is probably one of the most powerful committees in Parliament as it has the Speaker, the Clerk as the secretary, the whips and Members who are regular in both the health club and the restaurant, so that they know the issues which affect them."},{"id":5345,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5345/?format=json","text_counter":341,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"[The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Mr. Imanyara) left the Chair]"},{"id":5346,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5346/?format=json","text_counter":342,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"[The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Prof. Kaloki) took the Chair]"},{"id":5347,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5347/?format=json","text_counter":343,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mr. Midiwo","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":184,"legal_name":"Washington Jakoyo Midiwo","slug":"jakoyo-midiwo"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, I want to urge the House to approve this committee.
