    "content": "A number of us have gone to other jurisdictions like the US House of Representatives and the US Senate. Last week, those who watched Cable News Network (CNN) saw the FBI Director and the Attorney-General being grilled. Each Member was given five minutes. You ask your question within the five minutes and if you have further questions after you have finished your five minutes, you allow other Members to ask questions. If you watched the joint committee of this House, when the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government and other people appeared, they were folding their hands and for 10 minutes, Members were fighting. Last night, I saw a Member on television saying: “Now we are confused, what do we do?” That is not what a Member of Parliament can say on live television. Before we are judged outside because this afternoon we are also judging the SRC nominees, we must behave. Let us maintain our House in order. Yesterday, a group of Members of Parliament went to a Press conference and said they wanted to impeach the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury. I asked myself: “Have they received the recommendations of the committee? On what basis do they want to impeach?” If you want to impeach a Cabinet Secretary, you do not go to a Press conference. It is well stipulated in the Standing Orders. The process is in the Constitution. The problem is when you graduate to be a Senator from an MCA. It is better to pass through the National Assembly and go to the Senate. When you graduate from an MCA and go straight to Senate, then you want to discuss issues, it becomes a problem. I am sure all of us need to protect the integrity and implement the operation of the House and the committees in accordance with the Standing Orders. I seek your guidance.
