    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, Article 125 of the Constitution gives Parliament and by extension, any Committee of Parliament, the same powers as those of the High Court of the Republic of Kenya. These are powers to call witnesses, ask for evidence and deal with any other issue. Unlike in the old Constitution, the role of Parliament has been elevated to that of the High Court. Because of this, any decision by this House is binding to the Executive. I also want to know whether the appointing authority has satisfied this Parliament and the Speaker that the individuals who have been suspended have been cleared by any competent investigative agency. That one should come from the Speaker. Secondly, I do not recall Parliament sitting down in any of its sittings to reverse its earlier decision that the conduct of those individuals was not compatible with the conduct of public officers."
