    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that would amount to challenging the Chair. The Chair had ruled that the hon. Member was out of order. We do not have to revisit the issue. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the benefit of hon. Members, I want to go further to state that when the Committee takes evidence, various persons are given an opportunity to testify or defend themselves. All the people I have referred to were given an opportunity to explain themselves. We, therefore, cannot say that they were condemned unheard. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the companies that have been listed here have human beings behind them. If you went to the Registrar of Societies, you will find the names. In case there are changes, you can follow that up. However, in this case, there was no dispute over the human beings behind those companies. They were given the opportunity to state their cases. One of them even appeared before the Committee and said he was only working for his political party. That is the reason he gave. The political party was the ruling party then which Mr. Odoyo and company joined just before the last Parliament came to an end. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it makes me wonder whether his continuous interruptions have anything to do with the same. What interest has he got?"
