"content": "Hon. Speaker, I do not have the powers to summon hon. Members of Parliamentary Committees to appear before me. I am only one person and I do not have the secretariat. What I will do is to contact the Executive and the Executive will give me an answer. If I feel, in my opinion, that the answer meets the threshold to be presented to Parliament, I will do that. But, if the hon. Member is saying that he has issues with the Committee, then I think it is fair that the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government is told to answer his questions and then bring them to the House. Further, if we feel that the Committee should investigate the matter, we will allow it. I think the membership of Committees of this House represent and work as per the Standing Orders. They do not represent their clans, counties and political party affiliations. They are members of Committees of the National Assembly and they work and deliver their mandate as per the Standing Orders."
