    "content": "That is an important point which hon. Anyango has raised; I think I need to guide the House. The only people to are the 349 Members, but I understand that something is being done. The power of any committee, including the power of the House to summon any witness, is not limited to summoning only Members who are part and parcel of this House. Members of this House can also quite properly be summoned by a committee of the House and be questioned. It is important that anybody making statements here knows that once committees are in place - I understand there is a possibility of committees being in place very soon - there will be a chance that you can be summoned to explain yourself on the various comments you make. I am fully aware of the provisions relating to the mandate of the Committee on Implementation provided for under Standing Order 209. It is exactly to make follow up. If in exercise of that mandate the Committee on implementation feels that it needs to summon the Leader of Majority Party, so be it. It will be acting within its powers and prerogative."
