    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to enlighten the Chair and, probably, also refresh your memory. I was an hon. Member of the PAC then. The previous Report had two recommendations. There was one recommendation which had been made under the chairmanship of the late hon. Odinga. It became recommendation \"A\" of the Report. When the late hon. Wamalwa took over as the Chairman of PAC, the Committee was made to re-visit the decision. So, in the end, they ended up with another recommendation. So, there were two recommendations; \"A\" and \"B\". The House, therefore, moved here to amend the Report to cancel the two recommendations. The matter was then referred to the Committee, when I was an hon. Member. The Committee said that since the two recommendations were rejected, the matter had to revert to the Committee. We re-visited the Goldenberg issue, and this even appeared in our subsequent recommendations of the Report of 1996. It was said that, once a matter has been rejected, it does not die in the House. Therefore, this basically supports the point that has been raised by the Leader of the Official Opposition, that the Committee was perfectly within its mandate to re-visit the matter."
