    "content": "I do not need any applause for now because the matter is very serious. I must commend the Committee Members, including hon. Anyanga, for rejecting favours from that company on that particular occasion. The Committee, led by the Chairman, refused to accept favours. They ended up paying their hotel bills using hon. Bunyasi’s credit card. The only issue that could not escape our thought was that, when they arrived in India, the vehicles that were used to ferry the Committee Members from the airport to their hotel belonged to that particular company, but it was indicated in certain terms that the Members of the Committee were unaware of that fact, and we believed them. Hon. Deputy Speaker, hon. Ahmed Abass alleged that hon. Namwamba accepted a bribe of Kshs5 million from the Office of the President to influence the PAC Report on that Ministry’s accounts for the 2012/2013 Financial Year. When we asked him for substantiation, he could not provide any. He eventually withdrew the allegation. Even though he had withdrawn the allegation, we thought it to be a breach of privilege since he had already made the allegation. Hon. James Bett alleged that hon. Ababu Namwamba leaked a Judicial Service Commission (JSC) Draft Report of the PAC to The Star Newspaper . When we asked for substantiation, he could not provide any. Therefore, we had to take some action against him."
