    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this is a constitutional commission. I wish we had understood that we respect everybody’s role. It is very untidy to direct an independent commission like the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission. If we continue doing these kinds of things, we will be in court every single day and people will think that we do not know our roles under Articles 94 and Article 95 of the Constitution. Look at our recommendations. Equally, there is a recommendation, for example, that says certain people who have been named be held responsible. I have never understood what “held responsible” means. What is this personal responsibility? I mean everything is personal responsibility. I suppose the Committee wanted to say that they should be responsible for certain acts, but that does not come out in that Report. If it comes out the way it does, we are acting in vain because the guy will go on whistling because of his personal responsibility, but what is that personal responsibility? It is just a matter of couching this thing in appropriate language. Probably, if we referred them to our legal experts, they would have helped us to tighten it in such a manner that it would do what we are supposed to do. Now, the person is being held responsible for doing what? For neglecting a Public Investments Committee report? Anybody who has neglected a report… Hon. Speaker, let me just have a minute."
