Let me just read for you what Paragraph 10 of the Second Schedule says. It says:-

Mr. Chairman, Sir, assuming that the Commission wanted to sack its Secretary, would he require to sign that instrument too? Here we say all instruments. We do not think it is appropriate that we tie the Commission to the signature of the Secretary, who is an employee of the Commission.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought those contributions should have come at this point. However, we, in the Committee, take great exception to the decision by the Speaker. I was hoping you would hear me on this matter. This is not ordinary Government business.

It is because of that reason that I disagree with the Chair of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Committee that this should not move forward. But I must thank the Chair of CDF and his Committee for the diligence ...
