    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I will be very brief. Whereas I share the concerns of the previous speakers on this matter, I think we are in the process of attempting to discuss these very serious and unsubstantiated allegations. We could be aggravating the matter further. My thinking is that what happened in PAC is perhaps the only case that has occupied the imagination of the public. However, to try and dwell on this matter of PAC as if PAC itself and its composition is the problem, it is to deviate from the main issue. The main issue, in my view, is the matter of morality. We have a problem of people in the Executive attempting to control direction of Committee proceedings in nearly all the Committees. That is a matter that needs to be addressed as we try to resolve this matter of PAC. There is no single case of corruption where there is no give and take. If we continue to debate this matter as if Members of PAC and more so the Chairperson who is our very able Secretary General of our Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is already culpable, we shall be condemning people unheard. I want to suggest that this debate does not take this course. Let us find a way of dealing with this matter through the House leadership; the leadership of coalitions from the parties away from the cameras and public glare. That is my take. Thank you."
