    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to make a personal statement. Pursuant to Standing Order No.84, I wish to make a personal statement with regard to my alleged dismissal from Amani National Congress (ANC). I wish to set the record straight and put issues surrounding this matter to rest. I received a letter dated 20th March 2019 purporting to expel me from ANC party. Additionally, the Office of the Registrar of political Parties was directed to initiate the process of invalidating my position as a Nominated Member of Parliament. The resultant misinformation has been used to discredit me and bring my reputation to disrepute. In fact, contrary to provisions of the Political Parties Act, and in outright violation of the party constitution, on 12th October 2017, there was unprocedural and unlawful attempt to replace me as the Secretary-General of ANC Party by a clique of persons posing as the National Executive Committee (NEC). Members of the party and my supporters, in exercise of their constitutional right to seek justice, successfully petitioned the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal (PPDT) which ruled on 13th April 2018 that the attempted replacement of Hon. Godfrey Osotsi The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
