"content": "Okay. Let me tell you what is bothering me. I would like to put it in very plain language as possible. What is bothering me are the arguments being proffered. The hon. Mirugi Kariuki raised two issues which he said made this report to be improper before the House. One, is that this House just dealt with this issue and made a resolution. In fact, there was a vote. If I can recollect, it was negatived which means the House rejected the report of the committee. Now, that was the gist of Mr. M. Kariuki's argument and because the House had rejected it, then the committee had no business revisiting that issue again. You heard me asking hon. M. Kariuki a few questions. Among them was: If the House rejects an issue, does that rejection remain forever? That is one question I asked and he attempted to reply. The second question I asked him was: If an audit query is brought to this House and it is rejected by the House, does it die? I think he responded to that. Then you stood up to respond and you said that if the House were to come by new evidence or circumstances, then it can be revisited anew. The natural question that follows and which is the one I put to you is: Did this House at any time after it rejected the first motion, revisit the issue or not?"
