    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in moving this Motion, I had reached a point where I was drawing the House’s attention to a number of guiding principles which guided the Committee in considering this matter. For the record, those guiding principles were as follows: 1. That the IIBRC should be regarded as having been a constitutional process and its Report must, therefore, be dealt with as a product of the exercise of a constitutional mandate; 2. That, however, that constitutional process had raised some fundamental questions requiring answers, including the constitutionality of some of the decisions taken, as well as fairness of process and possible errors and omissions on record; 3. That the noted questions notwithstanding, the IIBRC Report is now an official public record in the possession of a Committee of the House, and forms the basis for discussion on this matter as well as the reference material for any subsequent action; 4. That any subsequent action to the IIBRC Report shall respect and protect gains therein, while maintaining the ends of justice, fairness and constitutionality; 5. That for the avoidance of doubt, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has defined the IIBRC Report in very specific terms to mean the full complement of documents, diagrams, records and maps submitted to the Committee by the IIBRC on diverse dates between 13th November and 1st December, 2010. Further, the Committee has also placed on its record, presentations of the three dissenting former Commissioners of the IIBRC."
