The doctored standing rules, referred to as the 10th Edition sighted by a DAILY POST correspondent, allegedly has a new, strange and obnoxious provision for electing the Speaker and Deputy through an open ballot instead of the existing rule of a secret ballot that has been in use since 1999. A principal officer of the House, who spoke to DAILY POST anonymously, said, “Yes, I can confirm that an alteration has been done and the document has been printed. But I want to tell you that even as a principal officer in the House I am not aware of this. No such amendment has been officially carried by the House.”
