    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the Committee used Standing Order No.198 while investigating these issues. However, the HANSARD report which was earlier tabled by the Minister does show that somehow, there was a breakdown in the sense that they were unable to communicate at some point. Based on the HANSARD report, there was a lack of communication between the Ministry and the Committee. If you look at the various issues that have been raised, you will realise that there could be a number of accusations which might require further investigation to ascertain who is really in the wrong. One of the people who have been mentioned as an expert is the architect called Olang’o in Japan. If you read this report, it appears as if Mr. Olang’o had been promised that he was going to do the architectural designs and supervise the building of the new embassy. Definitely, he lost business when a vacant plot was not bought. So, in my opinion, that kind of witness might not be very factual to be followed. If you look at various things that the Committee has said and what the Minister has said, to me it looks like that they are not at variance at all. It is just that the recommendations appear to have been a bit harsh and out of context from the findings of the Committee."
