"content": "As a senior Member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, you should seek to know how many judgements are there and how many decrees have been issued against the Government and the owners have not enjoyed and then try to look at them historically so that when you come to budgeting, you can also prioritise and say that this-and-that was decreed about 20 years ago. I am aware that there are some which are very old. They have not been satisfied. There are others which were done a few months ago and have been sorted out. So, the criteria used to settle is also questionable, but in terms of Article 95, you are the ones who exercise oversight over all those State organs, including the office of the Attorney-General and the Attorney-General himself as a State officer. You, as the National Assembly, exercise oversight authority over them and you can also commence the process of removing them from those offices. You have the power but if you do not exercise it, Kenyans will not even know that you have that power. You can decree that a judgment is 30 years old because it belongs to some unknown Kenyan out there who languishes in misery and they have nobody to turn to, yet this is the House with the power and mandate to resolve issues of concern to the people. Hon. Murugara, they say in Kiswahili, kazi kwako. Kazikwenu. Hon. Nyikal."
