    "content": " Most obliged, Sir. It must be made very clear that I am a Member of the Committee. I am fully aware of the paragraph that my distinguished friend and colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, has pointed out, but the law is the law. The law maybe an ass, but the law is the law. What I have been pointing out is that what is in the report is evidence brought before the Committee. We have a statute that we passed last year that indicate that the last audited accounts were 2010/2011. It is important that we move on and express very clearly our fidelity to the truth and the law and the rule of law requires that we do that. I am not saying that we reverse what we have said today, I am simply saying that the evidence given before the Committee which is in the report is, in fact, not part of the statute that we are going to pass. We are basing this on the wrong premise that the last audited accounts as required under Article 203(3) is 2010/2011 and not 2009/2010, as simple as that. You know it is very easy to say “move on” but next time, those who will read this will indict you for negligence. So, let us have issues right. It is not just about rolling on and moving on, passing and going home. We are passing the law for posterity."
