    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to rise on a point of order because hon. Omulele in his amendment is seeking to, in a way, mislead the House. This is because if you read through the hon. Speaker’s Communication when this matter was being given to Powers and Privileges Committee, you will see that the Committee was to inquire as to whether any of the members of Public Accounts Committee had breached the House’s powers and privileges. What hon. Omulele is telling the House now is that none of the Members who have been named in that Report and barred from sitting in a reconstituted Public Accounts Committee was found culpable in any way. I want to say that as a member of the Powers and Privileges Committee, indeed, it was not looking at the issues of allegations and counter-allegations on bribery but as to whether any of the members of Public Accounts Committee had breached the powers and privileges of the House. It is in the finding of Powers and Privileges Committee that, indeed, Members who have been named had breached privilege. It is, therefore, out of order for hon. Omulele to be telling the House and the country that none of the Members named and who the Powers and Privileges Committee seeks to bar were not found culpable of anything. They were found culpable of having breached their powers and privileges as Members of this House. I want to beg that you find hon. Omulele completely out of order for misleading the House."
