“I have been told that the microphones on the rows on my right are not working. Only rows seven to 11 are working. Rows one to six are not functioning.”

“The system was fixed in 1999 and this technology has a lock and anything that happens to it, we have to reach out to the manufacturers,” Dogara said.

Dogara said the House was not ashamed to be criticized as they are representatives of the people.
