In the response, the committee should- (1) Explain the reasons for the Attorney-General to appoint private law firms in the appeal seeking to overturn the judgement rendered in the High Court over the BBI case that is in the High Court. That is Civil Appeal No. E291 of 2021; Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission versus David Ndii and 82 others. (2) Confirm to the Senate whether the appointment of advocates met the required provisions of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2015. (3) Provide information on the payment made to them for the services rendered."
