    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have seen reports of committees which have recommendations from the Controller and Auditor-General saying that some people should not hold public offices. Those people, however, continue to hold the same positions in the same corporations. Therefore, they continue looting the same corporations they have been working for. Instead of forming a new committee, the Attorney-General should act upon all PIC and PAC reports which have been adopted by this House, with immediate effect. Secondly, we want the Government to expedite the corruption cases in court. We should not have people going to Constitutional courts to seek protection where there is evidence, particularly on abuse of office. The Government should help us to expedite such matters. I want to end my brief contribution by saying that we, as Parliamentarians, should not form committees for the sake of it. Some of our colleagues are in four to six committees. We cannot allow the formation of committees so that individuals can hold more positions in them. With those few remarks, I beg to oppose."
