Now, one of my weaknesses is not to keep receipts for anything... therefore I had to pay what was reflected as what I owed to that company. But it was a private account. It had nothing to do with Parliament."
The minister refused to divulge how much he had owed.
"I am not going to tell you how much, (because) there are certain things about my personal life that are private.
"The private account arose because we have in our family, and I am sure this is the case with many other families, sick people - my sister, who is older than me; my brother, who is now 78; my father-in-law, who is 84; and my mother-in-law. We had to use our own accounts to get them to travel. That's what it was about."
And he tells us to stop whinging.
