    "content": "If I were allowed to move this Motion – I hope I will be allowed later – I would have demonstrated that in the course of examination of these accounts, the Committee established a litany of transgressions which ended up costing the taxpayers a lot of public money. There were also cases of violation of the Constitution. The Committee does not sit in a vacuum. In the course of examining public accounts, if it comes across cases of violation of the Constitution or any other law, it must pronounce itself on it. The Committee did so and it is in this Report. The Committee also came across cases of violation of the procurement laws and dereliction of duty on the part of public officers charged with the responsibility of managing the IEBC. Therefore, I urge you that, as you make a determination on the matter as raised by Hon. Duale, you come to the conclusion that his application is not only frivolous but a blatant waste of time of this serious House. Also, that the Committee be allowed to continue to prosecute this Report so that the House, in its wisdom, can make a decision one way or another. Otherwise, any decision that will curtail the prosecution of this Report to its fullest possible extent would deny these Members an opportunity to pronounce themselves on a matter of serious national importance. I plead with you, Hon. Speaker. Thank you."
