    "content": "Inspector-General (IG) of Police with regard to the breach of Article 245 of the Constitution. It is annexed to the report. We also received a letter of an exchange between the former Chief Registrar of the Judiciary and the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the National Treasury. We also received an extract of resolution of the Finance Committee of the JSC, of a meeting held on 20th September. The extract was dated 26th September, 2013 and it was directing the police and Anti-Banking Fraud not to charge or arrest any persons until investigations being undertaken were completed. Hon. Speaker, I would like to go to the report of the Committee. After the Committee analysed the various evidence that was adduced, it came to the following findings and observations: With regard to breach of Article 245(4) that was stated by the petitioners, Messrs Mugambi and Alex Kibii, no person shall give direction to the IG of Police with regard to any matter that the IG of Police is investigating at that time. We received a letter from the IG that is dated 25th October, 2013. I would like to read it. Make reference to it so that it is not misreported. It states: “On the 27th September, 2013 as the audit report was awaited, two officials of the Judiciary namely Mr. Kaikai Kissinger who is the Deputy Registrar and who has facilitated the arrest of the four Judiciary staff accompanied by the Director of Finance, Mr. Benedict Omollo arrived at the Anti-Banking Fraud Investigation Unit with instructions from the JSC that no Judiciary staff should be charged and any of them held in custody should be released.”"
