    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is now my word against that of hon. M’Mithiaru but I know very well that they asked me to see you in your office, which I did. I think you can confirm that. I told you about the problems we were having about how to deal with the Report because it was already the property of the House. Originally, the Members of my Committee were demanding that we withdraw the Report and I said that was difficult. I suggested that if there were amendments, we debate them on the Floor of the House. So, there was a difference of opinion between one set of Members of the Committee and another set of Members of the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the main thing is that I believe, as I stand here; that if the Members of the Committee are in disagreement with the Report, this is now the perfect opportunity for them to challenge the various recommendations in the Report. I am sure that if they convince the hon. Members of the House, they will vote in a particular way. It is too late in the day to begin talking about withdrawing a Report which is already on the Floor of the House. I do not think we will disagree if they have valid points they feel should be tackled; that are incorporated in the Report. They are free to do so, because it is now a Report of the House. So, even if there are Members of the Committee who want to disagree with it, they should give justification for disagreeing with specific aspects of the Report. For me, I know that all the recommendations that are contained in the Report are either from the evidence that we received from the witnesses or they were directly extracted from the forensic audit report. With those remarks, I beg to move and ask Prof. Kaloki to second."
