    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for seeing me. I had initially intended to second the Motion after I was requested by my good friend, Hon. Gumbo. Fortunately, a Member of the Committee came and overstepped me. This Report has elicited a lot of anxiety and made Members impute several motives. Finally, the House Business Committee has found it wise to bring this matter before the House. I implore upon Members to take their good time, read the Report and make very rational deliberations during the debate. Whoever is found culpable should be taken to court and action should be taken against him or her such that there should be a stop of political debates. Impunity has gone too far in spoiling the fabric of this country. I thank His Excellency the President because I sit in the committee where we have twice shot down his appointments. He has never come back to force them down our throats. So, the question that the Deputy President (DP) was involved with this or anything touching on him should never bully anybody and stop him from making his mind about this issue known. We are trying to fight impunity. This is something that has spoilt the fabric of this country and it must go. I was privileged to be in a committee which you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, very ably chaired. That is when we were discussing the brouhaha about the former PAC. We were discussing the Chairman of the Committee after allegations and counter allegations from his Members. I remember this was one of the reasons that were touted here and there, as having been the reason why some people wanted to see the Chairman out or the Chairman thought that he was being hounded out of office to save this. I invite those who are suspicious or those who made those allegations that these could have been the reasons, to wake up to the occasion and come and let us know. I believe that the Members of this House and even the members of the public in this country did not have suspicions for nothing. Members of the Committee who for any reason were not able to advance them in the Committee stage--- I sit in these committees and some of them are gatekeepers to certain bigwigs or organisations. This matter has now come to the Floor of the House and they should feel free to come and express whatever argument they had that they were not able to advance in the Committee.
