    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The former Leader of the Minority Party was wondering why I was welcoming his point of order, but I am a man who adheres to rules and procedures. As the Speaker has severally advised us, I know that when a Member rises on a point of order, you should take your seat and allow it to be prosecuted. I wish Members like Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, who are here conversing in Kikuyu and Swahili, could listen and learn that when a Member rises on a point of order, they allow them to prosecute it, and thereafter, respond. This is because they also benefit. For instance, I have benefitted from the knowledge of Hon. John Mbadi and Hon. Edwin Mugo at a press conference they held. The message they delivered was on behalf of the Committee. Hon. Mbadi has just told us that tonight before he goes to bed, he will have signed that letter. That is exactly the point I was raising. Our committees, especially the oversight committees, must not be seen in any way to be speaking to the gallery and playing politics with important issues as audit matters. Therefore, procedurally, I would have expected the Committee to have occasioned that letter to go to the Auditor-General to begin audit even before we announce to the world. This is because when we announce to the world, we are probably signalling to those who might be stealing to get ready and start the cover up. You should quietly do your work and occasion the audit so that you can catch the thieves. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was only saying that and it is good for Hon John Mbadi… I see there is another point of order."
