Trouble seems to be brewing amongst assembly members from the treasury benches after a few lawmakers of the ruling party unhappy with the standing committees they have been asked to helm. Some of these disgruntled lawmakers have approached the party’s leadership, including leaders in the assembly, to assign them different committees apart from resolving the long-pending matter of appointing parliamentary secretaries. Members of the government, however, have said that some of the chairpersons are not happy with the committees assigned and desire that they should be changed. However, with some party members unhappy with their committee seats, it had also delayed the process of appointing parliamentary secretaries as the entire formula and naming will have to be reviewed by the party.
