On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Let me ask through you if we have the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism on these amendments. If we do, it will show exactly what the Committee agreed instead of relying on what the Chairman is saying. We should have a Report before us so that we can read through it and know exactly where the Committee is coming from because this will help.

The other way would be to go through the painful selection of each of these amendments where all these issues will be raised but this will take a long time. If we are seized of that Report, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

then we do not have to bother the Chair because we will see for ourselves exactly where the Committee is coming in.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, just put your head to this if you do not mind. It can be very dangerous, if we allowed Chairmen to withdraw amendments in this House. This is not a Private Member’s amendment. If it were, then it could be withdrawn by the person holding it.

Hon. Chairman, I am making a point here. There has been precedent in the House which has been followed that whereas an ordinary Member may have the right to withdraw his amendments, a Chair is in a different position. This is because the legislative proposal has gone through public participation and Members of the Committee have taken part in it. So, this will be very dangerous in my view.

No, I am still on my feet. So, it will be very dangerous to suggest that the Chair cannot prosecute this. So, we just have to pronounce ourselves and make a decision as the House and vote, but to allow a Chair to withdraw would be terrible particularly with what Hon. Jomo has just said. If we were to be seen that we withdrew important things before the Assembly, it would be terrible. We just have to express ourselves by voting one way or the other.
