    "content": "Order, hon. Members! Order, Member for Ikolomani! I realize that this matter is obviously very burdensome and that, hon. Members have genuine concerns over it, particularly, when so much money is being refunded at the expense of development programmes that would otherwise have taken place. So, it becomes a very grave matter of immense proportions. I will want to give direction as follows:- First, that the Committee which is charged with the mandate to inquire into matters of this nature which, I believe, would be the Public Accounts Committee, should carry out an inquiry - if it is not already doing so - and table a report in this House expeditiously. It would be preferable that you table your report before the end of the Sitting that we are currently on, which will end around 10th December, or thereabouts. You could try and table your report by the end of the month of November, so that the House can have an opportunity to debate this matter, interrogate it even further and carry out resolutions that may lead to investigation, arrest and possible prosecution. Secondly, hon. Members, please note that the Standing Orders and, in particular, Standing Order No.21 gives you a window to revisit a matter in which the House may have more interest than may have been covered during Question Time. You may want, therefore, to address the Speaker so that you can be permitted at the end of any Sitting Day - and it has got to be one in a week - to have a Motion to deliberate on the matter, whichever matter it is. You will have 30 minutes between 6.30 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. to speak to any given matter. So, please, note. Member for Kisumu Town West!"
