    "content": "I think an underlying principle throughout the Constitution regarding Chapter 15 on commissions is that they are independent and, in the performance of duties, they are not under the direction or control of any other body and/or authority. So, if the commission has commissioned and made certain findings but just like you have alleged, just one officer, the vice chair, came and revised otherwise, all you needed to do is advise your people to go back to the NLC. Let them go to the NLC with the findings by the commission and this other ruling or whatever it is by the vice chair, and ask them which one is which so that they can confirm. Well, maybe you know the National Assembly has a lot of time. Perhaps, they will go and just enjoy themselves. They cannot tell the NLC to do what they are already constitutionally mandated to do. Their own statute even obligates them to act even on their own motion, even without being moved. If, indeed, the commission had expressed itself one way but, subsequently, maybe because of the transitions as perhaps I suspect you could be suggesting, the vice chair… We all know that the chairman was ejected unceremoniously, maybe the vice chair decided to overturn. That could be an error on the face of record which can be rectified by the commission itself if it is sufficiently put so. Hon. Tayari, you will appear before the Departmental Committee on Lands and maybe explain those facts. The Committee may even have to just call the NLC who might just come and say, well, this is the position or this is not the position, Hon. Rachael Nyamai. Yes, Hon. Kimunya."
