    "content": "the Executive or whether the sequence should be the Executive first and Parliament to audit later, the Speaker was, somewhat, unhappy that it had been laid on the Table of the House although the letter had been addressed to him. The reasons I laid it on the Table, which are in the HANSARD for 20th June, 2006, were to give Members time to give their views to the Speaker before the ruling. Indeed, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Legal Affairs, hon. Muite, wrote to the Speaker and a ruling was given. The ruling was that since the Committee had already started investigations, it should just go on. I just want to say that this letter does not show that I was obstructing the work of the Committee. This letter shows that I raised a point of order, just like a Member is entitled to raise and like we raise here every day, and we leave it for the Chair to rule. It is unfortunate that some Members of Parliament would want to cast aspersions to stop Backbenchers like myself from probing the Executive. I now wish to lay on the Table the HANSARD of 20th June, 2006 and 21st June, 2006 which is the ruling, so that all hon. Members and members of the public can see the proper position. There is nothing that I do and fail to own up to. My colleague, Mr. Sirma, may have his own interpretation but it was not an obstruction but a point of order, properly raised by a hon. Member."
