    "content": "encourage Hon. Chepkonga and his Committee to bring a Motion of impeachment on SRC so that they can get disciplined and know that there is law that protects people who are not able to come and speak on their own behalf in Parliament. Public participation is the only forum where members of the public, public servants included, usually go to give their views. In the absence of that process, the rest of the regulation- making process becomes an illegality and breach of human rights. The SRC are so inhuman that they want to reduce peoples’ salaries. I had a candid discussion with some of the commissioners, including the chairperson, who said that they have no business with us and that they shall do whatever they want. That is why I propose that since they do not know what is supposed to be done, Parliament should teach them a lesson. I want the chairperson of the SRC to read about what happened in the 10th Parliament. We amended the Kenya Anti-Corruption Authority (KACA) Act and brought in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). We did not include a transitional mechanism in the EACC Act, and PLO Lumumba lost his job as the Chair of KACA. We can still do the same for the arrogant commissioners, so that they may know that the voices of the Kenyans we represent in this House are important."
