    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows: THAT, the Motion be amended by inserting the following expression immediately after the words “November 20, 2018” – “Subject to deletion of paragraph 7(2) on page 46 on the recommendations of the Report and substituting therefor the following new paragraph on recommendations – In view of the foregoing, taking into account the contradictions and inconsistencies in the evidence of the witnesses who appeared before the Committee on Powers and Privileges, and the fact that the Committee lacks capacity to conclusively investigate such matters which may border on criminality, the House notes that the Hon. Members who made claims of bribery against fellow Members are at liberty to make formal reports to other relevant competent State investigative agencies to undertake investigations.” As you have heard, the Chair of the Committee reported that there might have been corruption. If there might have been corruption, we would not want to gag Members who feel that the evidence they gave to the Committee might not have been acted upon. They are at liberty to go to other investigative agencies, make those claims and provide evidence so that the individuals who are involved can be investigated and prosecuted. I would not want there to be a blanket cheque for all the 349 Members of Parliament to wait and see who is next to be investigated on this matter."
