    "content": "On whether Parliament has the capacity to investigate some fundamental and critical issues, this Constitution does not expect us to be experts. That is why we are not even required to have any formal education for us to be elected to this House. We are an Assembly of the Kenyan people reflecting the face of Kenyans be it a nuclear scientist, a lawyer like you, a scientist like me or any other person like a watchman. All these professionals can be elected to this House by their people. However, the same Constitution gives us powers to investigate, debate and resolve critical issues of national importance and even play a major oversight role on the Executive. That is why the provisions of Standing Order No.203 come in. The Standing Order says that with the approval of the Speaker, you can engage any expert from anywhere in the world who can inform or investigate and through that we make some recommendations in the interest of this nation."
