    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know there are people who have accused the President of not following the right procedure. However, there must be a beginning to the fight against corruption. Let us all support him even if he is starting on the wrong note. We should support him and correct the process as we move along. I agree that the President is starting on a wrong note. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Mover of this Motion, the Senate Majority Leader, quoted Article 254 of the Constitution. Article 254(1) states: “As soon as practicable after the end of each financial year, each commission, and each holder of an independent office, shall submit a report to the President and to Parliament.” It does not state that the report will be submitted to Parliament through the President. Parliament, in its own rights, has a right to receive the reports from the commission. Therefore, it was totally unnecessary for the EACC to submit its Report through the President. We should have received the Report from the EACC in our own right because that is provided for in Article 254 of the Constitution. I do not know what the hurry was The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
