    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to second the proposal by Mr. Midiwo. It is not our practice to come here and oppose our own report on the Floor of the House, but it is an issue we really wanted to discuss in-house and then agree before we come to the Floor of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report that we relied on heavily, which my chairman alluded to earlier, was a forensic report and recommendations which we did. After we did that, other things happened and rendered the report of the forensic audit irrelevant. One of the them, which also the Chair spoke about, is that the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons said that he had cancelled the permit for one Bill Lay; we all agreed on that and we were happy. Later on, he went on to give that same person the permit and the person is already working. The other issue was that after the CMA met us as the regulator of all companies quoted on the Nairobi Stock Exchange; they went ahead and took disciplinary action against the board members. One of the board members went to court. The whole reason of bringing this report to Parliament, which was done in a hurry, was for Parliament to direct that a board member should be reinstated. Those are the issues. They are weighty and really it will not be good to expose Parliament to ridicule. That is why we are saying we should go back home and try to ensure that we iron out these issues."
