    "content": "Any country wishes to keep its secrets and materials confidential so that it does not fall into the wrong hands. The Cabinet Secretary said that they gave this evidence in good faith, in-camera. With the consent of the Speaker, all the Committees work at the pleasure of the Speaker. Therefore, by extension, they had the right to allow him to be heard in-camera. On the question about Section 34 on the obedience to the Constitution, this is universal. It is not only Cabinet Secretaries and Government officers, we also took the oath in front of the Speaker that we shall protect and defend the Constitution. Therefore, it cannot be said that this only applies to Cabinet Secretaries. On the issue raised by Sen. Hassan, when I was Minister for Defence, I used to get journals with my pictures talking about the number of forces every country in the world has, and who the Minister for Defence was. That is a fact and nobody can deny it. The journalists do not have information to write about internal secret matters. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talked about the issue of ordering the Inspector-General. Even in his Statement he said: “I did not order but I complained to the Inspector- General”. On the question of pointing fingers, I have not seen it myself. There is nobody inside the screen where he can point the finger. Those who saw it were outside. Therefore, he never meant Sen. (Dr.).Khalwale neither Sen. Haji. We should leave it that way. On the issue of Sen. (Dr.) Machage, I replied that in-camera, we are all Committee Members working work under the Speaker’s mandate and, therefore, on his behalf, we can make certain decisions. My brother, Sen. Muthama, talked of people being ordered to arrest others. I have responded to this. He has replied that he has not ordered the police to arrest the journalist, but he has complained to the police."
