When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

I agree with you, it was a 10th parliament's mistake. But the media and a section of Wazuans want us to believe that it was ODM who did it, and that ODM is now ALL in CORD, which is a lie. "The amended Standing Orders currently in use were tabled at the tail end of the last Parliament when MPs were busy with nominations. It was passed by a few MPs who did not scrutinise it properly, thus the inconsistencies it has," Tongaren MP David Eseli (Ford-Kenya) I'd really like to know who are these "few" MPs who passed the amendment. Btw the claim was made by a Jubilee MP who was in the 10th Parliament, not Wazuans or the media. @ Mc Reggae......I think Jubilee have no problem with CORD taking the leadership role in those two committees but for CORD to demand a majority of members as well is just ridiculous. @TAZ, for starters the ammendment was proposed by one Ekwe Ethuro, the current jubilee speaker of the senate!!!!!......leadership without the majority will man nothing as all the reports will not see the light of the day....go down memory lane of how PIC and PAC have been operating since 1992 when we started the multypartism era!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

The opposition check the executive!!!!....minority checks the majority, parliament checking the executive is a fallacy and you very well know it!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Yaani the opposition is run through mobile phone by an old man. No wonder it's not working.
BBI will solve it :)

It's a winner takes it all sad situation and it won't help to continue making noise (i thought grown up men stopped crying about "stolen" elections long ago).Amend the standing orders as i doubt traditions will overule the same in this case. For a winner take it all situation,watch Charlie Chaplin boxing match in this 1931 pantomime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot1-O7nEvmkNothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

What does the standing orders say? What should be the approach? Cant CORD initiate a motion to change the standing orders first? If they get the majority as it is now, wont they be bending the parliament rules that governs them?

Haha during the debate, Shebesh said that Jubilee is tired of apologizing to Cord for having won the last election by 800,000 votes.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
