What the Speaker and the House said was that it was insubordination that led to their being suspended. I do not know what else to say than insubordination. In issues of suspension, there must have been warnings, whatever your conducts are. This is an institution, you must adhere strictly to rules. I have been subjected to the disciplinary process when I missed my step in the past.

However, on Monday during plenary, the Speaker said he does not have any of the listed companies working with the House.
