    "content": " I am on a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Just like the Leader of the Majority Party, I am also a bit confused but in a different line. The Hon. Member raised this matter as a point of order and is seeking your guidance; that Hon. Kamanda, who is chairing a Committee of the House, has acted without disclosing that he has conflict of interest but he has not specifically spelt out where this conflict of interest was called to question. If we are going to follow where relatives of Members of Parliament work, that is a job that we cannot give you. For example, the Chair or the Committee of Public Investments Committee (PIC) of this House is responsible for looking into the accounts of all parastatals. Are you telling me that before we elect someone as Chair of PIC, we need to find out whether his or her relatives work in any of the many parastatals in this country? That is a job you cannot give. What the Hon. Member could have done – I think we are giving him this guidance because he is a new Member of Parliament – is to do a better job. Has he been here for more than one term?"
