    "content": "We will report on Russia officially. This is a serious matter; I do not want to be destructed. In Philippines, when you are charged with an economic crime or corruption, first there is no right to bail. You will stay in remand during your trial until such time as the case is concluded. They did mention to us that the trial span for an economic crime or a corruption case is between five to ten years. At the time we were in Philippines, two Senators, were serving remand for embezzling CDF funds like the one we have in Russia. Essentially, they served that entire term during trial in remand. All I am saying is this: If, indeed, we are obligated to vet a person who is charged, assuming that person is in remand, how do we facilitate them to come with the remand clothes? I do not know whether there is any. How do we facilitate them to go back? Lastly, if, indeed, it is the case that we do not have summary process, when you are vetting a person to hold public office, which by the spirit of the provisions of Section 2 cannot hold upon appointment following approval by Parliament, to what end are we engaging public time as Parliament undertaking the vetting. Those are the issues for which I was seeking and humbly craving your guidance, so that we may not be seen by the public on whose behalf we sit in this Parliament, to be antagonising the spirit of the nation, but be properly understood.
