Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. Since most of the speakers have agreed or alluded to the fact that this being quasi-

I want to say that in the proceedings, we were not bound by the strict rules of evidence. When we are determining this matter, what we are being called upon to do in the absence of evidence before us is that we are going to determine this matter by having failed to admit evidence on the basis of a technicality which, in my view, is a violation of Article 159(2) of the Constitution of this Republic.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence on this matter because whatever I am likely to say may not go down very well with some of the Senators around here, bearing in mind that I am the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I am surprised because I have just come in when the Chairman is seeking leave of this House to withdraw a Report that was properly tabled before this House last week by me. Secondly, I want to state very clearly and categorically that this was a unanimous Report of the Committee on ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we were discussing this matter, I remember that when I made a request to my leader, Sen. Dullo to come to the meeting, she appeared so busy for another meeting and for that matter, she did not attend. Madam Speaker, the reason why---
