    "content": "However, we cannot deny the public a Report which has, more or less, been unanimously agreed upon by the Committee. The Committee is saying that any one of the Members can move the Motion. There are many Members here, even on the other side; Sen. Faki and Sen. Wamatangi are here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is wrong. When a matter is put before the House, it then becomes the business of the House. This Motion is now the business of this House. For us to now wait for the Committee to decide whether the Chairperson is there or not or whether he is charged with a traffic offence and we have to wait for the outcome, that would be very unfair to the House. In any case, the Speaker had said that the sittings of that Committee had not even started; nobody has appeared before that Committee. Therefore, let us say that the Committee starts its work next month; this Report will sit there in abeyance. The other issue which is of public significance is the fact that questions are now being raised out there as to why this matter is not in the Order Paper, for it does not appear every week. We also stand accused. Are we part of a conspiracy not to discuss this issue? We are not part of that conspiracy. Let us discuss it. It is a very important matter. Some people are playing games that we should not discuss it until the courts are seized of this matter and then they bring the issue of sub judice . I think that this is the time to discuss it and we will either approve it or not."
