    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on an entirely different matter. However, it involves the entire House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is within the knowledge of the public that Members of this House, 209 of them have been served through advertisement in the public dailies in the case of one Rev. Timothy Njoya as concerns matters touching on taxation. The impact of this is that adverse orders could be made against each and every Member of this House given the fact that already service has been effected by way of advertisement on each of the Members of this House. I am seeking your direction as to why the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has, of today, not appointed a counsel to deal with this matter. If it has, why has this matter not been communicated to us because there are issues of cost and yet, all of us are employees of PSC? The structure for payment of tax is such that the PSC ought to take its proper position and implement all matters that refer to the payment of tax. This House needs you to protect hon. Members and make a proper direction as to how this matter will be resolved. That is because, as far as we know, there are discussions. But now with the court process going on, the Speaker must tell us: Are we, all hon. Members, going to appoint lawyers on our own or what happens? We need direction!"
