Reacting to VDM’s claim on Monday, the lawmakers insisted that the activist can’t dictate to them how to do their own jobs.
The house said: “You are not expected to dictate to us whether Bobrisky come here or not, it is left to us to decide, we can also compel him to come before us, we can invoke our powers to arrest him.
“In the case where Verydarkman refuses to honour this sitting we can invoke our powers.
“The allegation you made has caused this Committee to invite top government officials to come here so you the witness must speak otherwise we will exercise our powers. You must speak to the allegations you made.
“You are here already to testify, I will advise you to go ahead, don’t let anyone deceive you. To the lawyer please advise your client.”
