"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I intend to follow the rule of the law which, by Article 231, I have no mandate to instruct or direct the CBK. We must live within the new Constitution. These are some of the provisions that you find in almost all the independent constitutions; the aim was to insulate independent commissions from being directed or micro- managed by the Executive. That is the real reason. However, I am saying that I do not believe that this House is powerless. It is not powerless. This House has other mechanisms and I wish it enforces its resolutions. One of them is censure. The new Constitution allows censure of any member of the Executive. This can also be taken to the Powers and Privileges Committee to come up with a solution. As I said, I do not believe this House is powerless."
