    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the point made by the Attorney-General regarding the role and duties of the DPP. However, he remains the spokesman for the Government. Even though the powers to prosecute may have been transferred to the Office of the DPP, it is the him who answers Questions in this House relating to the Office of the Attorney-General. Secondly, he is also the protector of public interest. I am asking him a specific question with regard to Mr. Joel Mbugua as the protector of the public interest and as somebody who is satisfied that reasonable conditions have not been met with regard to getting Mr. Mbugua released on bail. Will you move to court, as you are required to do, for the Government and make an application to the High Court, so that the High Court in its supervisory jurisdiction, can alter the terms of bail for Mr. Joel Mbugua to enable him either to be free or to enable the termination of these proceedings on the grounds that a miscarriage of justice has occurred on account of the period served? Currently, Mr. Mbugua is serving a prison sentence before he is convicted! Could you give us that assurance?"
