    "content": "to Hon. Mpuru Aburi and he claimed that he recorded the video for fun and shared with one female Member of this House who subsequently circulated the video unlawfully. I have no evidence to that effect. I take exception to the Member's irresponsible conduct given that he is a senior Member of this House and, therefore, bears a higher level of responsibility befitting a ranking Member in upholding the dignity of the House. I hasten to emphasise that any form of indignity by one of us becomes an indignity to all of us, this House and, indeed, to the institution of Parliament as a whole. I implore all of us, who are Members of this House, to collectively safeguard the dignity of this august House in the manner we conduct ourselves in the chamber, within the precincts of Parliament or elsewhere in our private or public life. As Members of Parliament, you have no private capacity. You are Hon. Members of Parliament when in the precincts, out of Parliament, in your homes, in your constituencies and even outside the jurisdiction of this country. Accordingly, having considered the circumstances surrounding this matter, and having duly allowed Hon. Lawrence Mpuru Aburi a reasonable opportunity to reflect on his conduct, I will now allow him, should he be present in the House, to rise in his place and proceed to tender an appropriate, unconditional and unqualified apology to the House. If he is not present in the House now, I will allow him to tender this apology at the next appropriate time in the presence of the Hon. Speaker. The Clerk of the National Assembly is hereby instructed to take the necessary action to enforce those directions. Thank you, Hon. Members. Is Hon. Mpuru Aburi in the House?"
