    "content": "Any debate prior to the receipt of a report of the Committee would be tantamount to anticipating the findings of the committee. Honourable Members, I therefore uphold the objection of the Assistant Minister in respect of the Financial Year 2008/2009 accounts on the grounds that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was seized of the matters raised by the hon. Member for Gwassi. I would advise Mr. Mbadi and, indeed, any other hon. Member who is interested in the matter, to attend and participate in the meetings of the PAC during the Committee’s deliberations on the matters at hand in terms of Standing Order No. 178. Should such hon. Members still have outstanding issues after the PAC has concluded its consideration of the accounts for the Financial Year 2008/2009 and tabled its Report in the House, hon. Members would be free to raise those issues in the House at that point. Regarding the accounts of the Financial Year 2007/2008 in respect of which the House adopted recommendations on 14th December, 2010, I find that the Assistant Minister is obligated to respond to the issues sought by Mr. Mbadi, as no provisions of the Standing Orders would be breached. I, therefore, direct the Minister for Finance to issue a Ministerial Statement in relation to the receipts of revenue for the Financial Year 2007/2008. I thank you."
