Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. Hon member, I hear you are really not speculating now that there is a name. But, as the other hon member quoted from what I said, honestly I can say that when I heard the newspapers reported that there are things that this hon member did, I did not waste any time, and I confronted him and did what was quoted by the member.
I confronted him, and said that the newspapers are saying things, what do you have to say for yourself? He responded, when I reacted. The Public Protector then said that she had already started with the investigation on this matter.
I then said, hon member, that I cannot proceed when the Public Protector has already taken the initiative to investigate the matter. I have to wait for her to finish, conclude her investigation, and send me the report so I can read it and make a decision. Even at that time I am not going to waste any time. Hon Speaker, I reiterate what I said. [Applause.]]
