    "content": "Hon. Members, Article 124 of the Constitution empowers a House of Parliament to establish committees and Standing Orders for the orderly conduct of its proceedings. It is, therefore, upon this House to determine which way the matter will go as it reflects on the issues raised. This is a matter I will more willingly encourage consultation and cooperation rather than issue direction on the way forward. For doing so, I would be assuming the role of this House, as mandated under Article 124 of the constitution. In the meantime, PAC has a fiduciary duty to this House to see to it that the political parties’ audited accounts are examined and reports thereof tabled in the National Assembly for consideration. Should there be need for declaration of interest when certain political parties’ audited accounts are being examined, a concerned Member or Members must first declare that interest and the chair will determine whether continued participation in the proceedings is tenable."
