    "content": "Arising from that, various steps have been taken. This House, in playing its role of watchdog, had a Motion of censure on the then Minister for Finance and it was passed. Thereafter, a Committee of the House investigated the issue, and today we have its report here with recommendations. Outside this House, there was the Cockar Commission. We have known the recommendations of the Cockar Commission through the media. All these three bodies have come to the same conclusion; that procedures were not followed. It is only fair that we condemn non-observance of procedures. The only way we can do that is to adopt this Report. While the hon. Members were debating this issue during the Motion of censure, they were being paid using taxpayers' money. The Select Committee and the Cockar Commission used taxpayers' money. It would be irresponsible of us to let those responsible to go scot free. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to concur with the Speaker's ruling today that this House stands by it's censure Motion. In effect, what this means is that this House is not going to deal with hon. Amos Kimunya as a Minister within this House and this will also apply to his deputy."
