    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I gave an indication that, first, at the commencement of these proceedings, any party who wanted to cross-examine any of the deponents of any of the documents had an opportunity upon your invitation, to invite such parties to appear before them. If our counterparts appearing for His Excellency the Deputy President did not find it appropriate to call that witness at that point in time, they cannot now hold us to say that you had said you would call this person, you will not call them. The person we were to call was for purposes of clarifying what we thought was important for us. This being an inquisitorial proceeding or a quasi-judicial proceeding, it would be a stretch to expect that if we did not call or avail any of the witnesses that were mentioned in any of the affidavits, then, as of necessity, that follows, that that record or that affidavit needs to be expunged. That is why I was saying, pursuant to your ruling yesterday, that is, evidence and material that was presented yesterday, forms part of your record."
