    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I was unable to fulfil the conditions. However, after being guided by the Senate Majority Leader and seeking counsel within and outside the House, I am going to read the apology without any omission. I am going to fulfil it because that is a procedure of the House. However, allow me to issue the disclaimer as advised- “I, Senator Gloria Orwoba, on this day, 20th March, 2025, I will tender the prescribed apology herein as a requirement and a fulfilment of the Senate resolution with a disclaimer that these are not my words and in no way does it infer a confession or any admission whatsoever of liability on my part. It shall not prejudice my case in court where I have been sued by Jeremiah Nyegenye, the Clerk of the Senate.” I proceed to read the prescribed apology. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, Sen. Gloria Orwoba, hereby tender my unreserved apology to this Senate, honourable Senators, Clerk of the Senate and the Secretariat of Parliament for having acted in a manner which pursuant to Section 16(e) and Paragraph 7 and 8 of the Fourth Schedule to the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, 2017 constituted a breach of Parliamentary privilege that reflected adversely on the dignity and integrity of Parliament and its Members and was contrary to the best interests of Parliament and its Members. I undertake that I shall abide by the responsibilities of leadership as set out in the Constitution, the Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012 and the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, 2017. I therefore beseech to be admitted to the Chamber. I thank you and submit."
