    "content": "Hon. Speaker, with all due respect to my good friend, Hon. Mbadi, I want to state that I fully support Hon. Chepkong’a’s proposed amendment. A committee sitting involves calling witnesses who speak on the HANSARD. Some of the witnesses we called, including Mrs. Shollei told us that some of the decisions they took were on account of the work of the Finance Committee. We are simply saying that they have been mentioned. As Parliament, we do not have the capacity to investigate them individually. We are not saying that they are culpable but members of the finance committee should be individually investigated. We are only recommending investigation. Their names were mentioned as having interfered with some processes. If you read even in the observation section of this report, you will find that members of this committee were mentioned many times by the witnesses we called. Because Parliament does not have the capacity to go deep into the individual actions, we said that we would give the body charged with that mandate to do it. So, I persuade my good friend, Hon. Mbadi, to allow this proposed amendment to go through."
