    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that a Member of this House, hon. Mutula Kilonzo, can try to come in between the exercise of the legitimate powers of a Committee of this House. The powers that the Committee on Delegated Legislation is trying to exercise are clearly spelt out in Standing Order No.197. In particular, it will look at Standing Order No.197(2). If you look at that one, it gives this Committee power to look at whether a Gazette notice or subsidiary legislation, is consistent with the parent legislation. Was the act of appointing the Director of the KACC consistent with the parent legislation? This is the question; this is what we want the committee to look at and bring a report. Hon. M. Kilonzo will have a chance to visit that Committee and make his ideas known. The House will be given an opportunity to debate that report. It is wrong, it is unfortunate, and it is a hindrance of the exercise of legitimate powers of this Parliament and its Committees. I want to appeal to my Senior learned colleague, please, do your work in the Executive and let us do our work, as a Parliament, on behalf of the people of Kenya. Do not be a hindrance. Do not go into the history of this country as one of the Ministers once did; he was hindering Parliament in exercising its legitimate mandate."
