    "content": "Hon. Baya, I will stop you. We do not entertain certain discussions in this House. What are you discussing? Is there any Motion on dispossession of land? Are you presenting another Petition? If you want to set up a tribunal, make a proposal and bring it in a proper way. It is not right to just talk because it is fashionable to do so because Mzalendo is watching. We hear your earlier point. Hon. Members, nothing prevents anybody who feels aggrieved by a decision of any person purporting to exercise the functions of their office – like the alleged action of the vice-chair – from reporting those transgressions, if any, to the EACC or the DCI. The EACC or the DCI do not have to wait for a recommendation from a Committee of this House. I want to state that it is not the Committee but the House acting in plenary. I want to ask Committees to desist from issuing roadside decisions. We had earlier on stopped that practice. You have no authority to do so. You must bring a report to this House. The Members of this Hose will debate your report and either adopt or reject it, with or without amendments. You are causing unnecessary panic and apprehension out there, especially when you indicate that you are going to visit sites with television crews. Some of you are too excited to appear on television giving instructions and summoning people. You have no such power. You should come to the House with a report and convince your colleagues to support you. Do not go out there issuing instructions. Who are you? As you are aware, the House works through resolutions and not roadside decisions. I want to ask you to desist from that behaviour. You may be cited for disorderly conduct. That Petition will go to the Departmental Committee on Lands. Next Order!"
