    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I think we Members and Chairs must protect the independence and the integrity of this House. This afternoon, among the many Communications that you issued, was that the committee sittings will end on the 13th of December, and they will resume sometime in January. This is why sometimes we are accused of Executive capture. A Vice-Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee cannot come… Hon. Shinali is a second timer. He participated in the approval of the calendar. Today, after the Speaker has read a Communication, without a Motion, he wants this House to deliberate on behalf of one Ukur Yatani until 25th of December. That is an abuse of Parliamentary privileges. In fact, this Member should be cited of contempt. I think he is a good man. He is a good friend of mine. I have a feeling the Budget Office prepared this. If they are listening to me, Ms. Makau and the team she works with are constitute one of the best departments. I do not want them to mislead Members. Hon. Speaker, you know, Hon. Shinali walked in, looked at you a number of times and he had a paper. I was wondering this is a decent man, why is he being harassed. Little did I know, that he had a document. I think he was not here earlier. If he was he would have heard you read the many Communications. The House is going on recess this evening. This is for the records. The Speaker has made a communication. The last committee sitting is on 13th and it is not only for Members, even our staff must go on holiday. So, Yattani can look for another Parliament whether it is the Parliament of Somalia or Djibouti to discuss those things. We will only deal with his matter when we come back on 24th."
