Members, you will recall that on Tuesday, 14th April2015, the Report by the Committee on Powers and Privileges on the alleged breach of privilege and/or code of conduct by membership of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was debated by the House and adopted without amendment. Hon. Members, pursuant to my earlier Communication following the adoption of the Report, I wish to guide the House on the procedure for reprimanding a Member as recommended and adopted by the House as follows:- First, all Members mentioned are considered strangers until and when they have been reprimanded and tendered a suitable apology to the House. Secondly, each Member will be called to the Bar, which will be drawn and will be reprimanded by the Chair while standing at the Bar. Thirdly, the Chair shall thereafter proceed to reprimand each Member before they take their seats in the House. Fourth, each Member shall tender his or her apology. For information of the House, the Members will be reprimanded for the following reasons:- First, Hon. Ababu Namwamba, MP, for failing to substantiate within the required period serious allegations of breach of privilege and / or code of conduct allegedly committed by some members of the Committee contrary to Standing Order 91.
