Hon. Temporary Speaker, my point of order is extremely serious. Before you ruled, you allowed another point of order. This is a Statement that was brought about a case where the Chair will be presiding over investigations and yet he has already made a conclusion.

Thank you for the correction. I hope the House is getting my point that this is the Chairperson that will be presiding. How will he do so neutrally to listen to what Sen. Kibwana has said when he has already concluded that persons went to Russia willingly?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, would you kindly ask the secretariat to confirm to us if the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare declared his interest as the Chairperson before he made any comment on this matter, noting that he will later sit to preside over the conversation...
