    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.52(h) relating to matters of privilege of Members. This House seeks your guidance on a matter that has continued to bother the leadership of this House. The matter for which I seek your guidance relates to the recent claims of compromises, prejudices and deceit on the part of the Public Accounts Committee as a whole and its Chairman. I must, from the start, clarify that my question of privilege relates to the Committee as a whole. We are alive to the recent allegations and counter-allegations of sleaze, distortion and dishonesty made by the Members of the Public Accounts Committee against each other and against their Chairman. Whilst these allegations remain just allegations until substantiation is provided, it is my view that we cannot continue to bury our heads in the sand as if nothing happened. These allegations threaten the very foundation upon which Parliament is mandated to offer oversight on other institutions. Section 3 of the Leadership and Integrity Act requires all of us, being State officers, to respect the values, principles and requirements of the Constitution, including The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
