    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With due respect to the Minister, is he in order to mislead the House that the matter is being awaited at the Cabinet while there is already a complaint from the Cabinet and there is one letter from none other than Mr. Francis Kimemia, the Secretary to the Cabinet, complaining about your Ministry? It is addressed to the Attorney-General and seeks further advice. He says:- “In my opinion, it is in bad taste and disrespectful to the Cabinet to attempt to compel the Managing Director to undertake such action behind the Cabinet Committee and Cabinet itself”. It even goes further to say:- “I am rather concerned because this advice was given to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport, personally in a meeting of 24th July”. In response to the same letter, the Attorney-General says as follows:- “If a matter is pending for deliberations before the Cabinet, it would be imprudent to initiate a parallel process as it could potentially create conflicting outcomes which could expose the Government and the Authority to legal liability.” The parallel process is where they have started to terminate the tender. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the complaint from all the persons concerned, the Prime Minister’s Office, the President’s Office and the Cabinet is that the Minister has become totally allergic to any advice from any quarter within the Government. The final letter from the Attorney-General shows that the Minister is misleading the House--- This now even touches on the appointing authority. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I table the two letters."
