THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Can we please minimise the points of orders so that we can go to the report. What is the point of order now because you have been complaining about the presentation of the report?
HON. P.D. SIBANDA: True Madam Speaker. We cannot entirely say because you have made a ruling then we should proceed. I believe that whatever was taking place between your Chair and the Chair of the administration needs a special Committee of Parliament to investigate. We believe that there is something – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections] – Hon. Speaker, as I finish my point of order, we believe that there is something scandalous that was taking place between your Chair and the Chair of the Clerk of Parliament – [HON. MEMBERS: Yes!] – Whatever was taking place was attempting to subvert the role of Parliament as is provided by Section 119 of the Constitution. As a result Hon Speaker, I request that you make a ruling that a special committee of Parliament be established to investigate whatever was taking place and corrective action be taken so that such issues cannot be allowed to take place again in the future. Thank you.
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Hon. Member, there is no need for an investigation because I was not here from the beginning. Mr. Clerk was advising me on what took place while I was away. So there is nothing scandalous here.
