    "content": "manner and the Committee on Powers and Privileges, chaired by the Speaker, as per their Standing Orders, investigated the matter and recommended some sanctions against the Member. Unfortunately, when the Motion of the report was brought to the House, it was defeated on the Floor. If you read the exit report of that incident, the Speaker recommended that it is not proper that a Speaker be allowed to Chair a Committee which will be subject to proceedings of the House. I have seen the struggle and the difficulty with which you have had to explain yourself. Therefore, I agree that there should be consideration. It is not a wise decision, having learned from experience, and seeing what has happened this afternoon, to give the Speaker chairmanship of a Committee whose works will be subject to debate in this House. Perhaps, we might want to restrict it only to the Senate Business Committee (SCB) of which, for reasons on how the Senate is run, must be chaired by the Speaker. Finally, I listened very keenly to Sen. Okiya Omtatah. However, I am afraid his reading of the Constitution is either lopsided or he has challenges with how he reads and understands it."
