    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to, again, reiterate my position that I support this Report. It is a fair Report. It has been done in a professional manner. Its findings reflect the true picture of what happened. This is one of the committees that are chaired by a person who is of high standing in the legal fraternity. He understands the law. This House should not behave in a manner that seems to appease our various political formations. We must debate soberly within the precincts of the law. We should be guided by the facts that were presented before the Committee. It is important that the files that are being held in the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly are not accessed by anybody to further their personal interests. I have gone through the findings and recommendations of the Report and they are fair. Whereas the Act gives the Committee powers to order a Member to vacate his or her seat, the Committee has just recommended for the Member to be reprimanded. That is a fair recommendation. I want to ask Members of this House to debate issues with their brains and not with energy. It cannot be that every time you have a disagreement, you want to sort out the differences by blows and abuses. We should restrict ourselves to the facts that are contained in the Report. The Report represents the facts the way they were."
