    "content": "Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. We are in a new territory and we may have to make new rules to address these issues as the fight against corruption continues. I was with the former President of Nigeria, Olesegun Obasanjo the day the Egyptians took Hosni Mubarak in a cage to court. As a former President of a Republic in Africa, he really felt pain. He said there was an issue of image of the Egyptian Republic and there was dignity of a person who is a holder of a particular office. The issue we are handling involves serious protocol. I suggest that one, if in future it should be necessary that the Speaker of the Senate, the Speaker of the NA and the CJ have to appear to answer personally on matters before any committee of Parliament, particularly these ones to do with accounts, then we should amend our Standing Orders, so that our Speaker, instead of just chairing the Committee on Appointments and the House Business Committee (HBC), he takes over and presides over the PAC. This will ensure that the CJ will come and answer questions when the Speaker of the NA is presiding over the committee."
