    "content": " Disparaging. But I was looking for a term on the character of the Members who made the allegations. Personally, I have issues with the Members who made the allegations. They are not helping this country. If you make serious allegations that Members have taken bribes to shoot down a report that was commissioned by this House and then you fail to substantiate the allegations, what would you be telling the country? After reading the Report, I realised that none of the Members came with concrete evidence. Some even withdrew the allegations after going to the media. We can also look at it this way, are we supposed to respond to media reports? I do not know when we lost the Standing Order which provided that media reports were not supposed to be quoted in Parliament. There is the Citizen Weekly newspaper that I do not like quoting much, because its credibility is not known. It lines up names of Members of Parliament, some of whom were not in Parliament that day. That is the report many media houses and vernacular stations quoted. I listen to one vernacular radio station a lot and they mentioned those Members. Unfortunately, one of the Members whose names appeared in that list comes from my region. The vernacular radio station kept on hammering that Member despite the fact that the Member was not in the House that day. He is the Member for Suna West. He was in the village, but he was mentioned in the media. Yesterday, the same newspaper apologised to Members yet the whole country has been scandalising Members.
