    "content": " Order, Eng. Gumbo! The Chair was just going to pronounce itself and you demanded to be heard. Both cannot be done simultaneously! Hon. Members, this is a fairly straightforward matter. The position of the Chair is that the Member brought the documents and the Chair admitted them on the basis we admit documents; that they were signed. The Minister has responded to the allegations and demonstrated that those documents were a forgery. This is a word between one Member of the House and another. I appreciate it raised those kind of issues whether the Member acted in good faith or he was also mislead. I think we must give the benefit of the doubt to the Member for now because he is not in the House. The Chair also needs time to interrogate the documents that were submitted by the Member and the position the Minister has taken. A ruling will then be made by the Chair by notice. Secondly, I also want to make it very clear to the House, as Members have sought. The Standing Orders are very clear that it is our responsibility to communicate matters that we are fully aware to be true. So even before you bring the matter to the House, crosscheck to make sure that it is the correct position and that you are seeking issues from the Executive that you know are correct. So, Eng. Gumbo, bear with the Chair we will deal with it. Mr. Kioni has raised the Standing Order that will be appropriate when the Chair establishes and determines that, indeed, the Member mislead the House. We will invoke our Standing Orders. Let it be very clear. So, we rest that matter!"
