    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for that directive. Because we do not want to give any opportunity to the Executive to flout the law, and find this Parliament a route of escape, I request that you have a look at the Anti- Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, which provides in Sections 35 and 36 on what should be done with reports. It is very clear that the report should go to the Attorney- General. The Attorney-General is then supposed, under Section 36, to table it in this Parliament. So, whereas we want to thank you for asking him to table it - we will use it – we want you to make a decision. Why should the Government be side stepping the office of the Attorney-General when the matter is hot? You will remember that when the Cockar Commission made its report on matters touching on the then Minister for Finance, the report was never taken to the Attorney-General. All we saw was that the Executive brought back the Minister in a new portfolio. So, maybe this Parliament is being misused."
