    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had forwarded a Question to the Office of the Prime Minister which was to be addressed today. That was last week on Monday. I had hoped that your office was also going to see the Question because it touches on intimidation of witnesses who appear before committees of Parliament. A good case was the Managing Director of Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). After he appeared before the joint committees of Parliament, he was sacked. So, because it has happened before, my interest was to know if the Executive is trying to hold potential witnesses appearing before committees of this Parliament at ransom and thereby making it difficult for this House to carry out its duties. So, I was expecting the answer to come today but I thought your office may, perhaps, have seen the issue I was trying to bring up the issue concerning witnesses appearing before committees of this House. That is because it appears very well that they are being intimidated by the Executive to ensure that they do not come and give good evidence before any committee of this House."
