    "content": "First, the apology is to the people who voted “yes” in this House. What we have suffered cannot be quantified in a single letter. Many Members have been harassed for no reason. I am very sad because I knew his father. He was from my constituency. He was a very honest man. I do not know what became of Hon. Koimburi because he lied through his teeth, on the pulpit, and with no shame. We must set a precedent in this House even as we forgive Hon. Koimburi. One cannot just say things incriminating Members of Parliament and the whole House outside there and get away with it. We must have him pay damages. More importantly, the Speaker and the Powers and Privileges Committee must take action against him. It must be clear so that in future, any Member who would like to drag names of Members under the bus just to look good will think twice. He may have done this to look good. However, he should realise that all of us in this House including him are rotten if one is. I hope this will be a lesson and a precedent set from your desk to discourage others from going that route. It is a shame. He should be ashamed of himself. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
