    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to your considered guidance to the House, there is a letter from the Office of the Attorney-General, the State Law Office written to the Speaker of the Senate and also copied to you and I felt I should share the same with the Members so that we see where this fits in, in the light of the direction you have given right now. Hon. Speaker, this letter is dated 28th August, 2013. It is addressed to hon. Ekwee Ethuro, Speaker, Senate and the hon. Justin Muturi, Speaker, National Assembly. I want to read it so that Members get the main thought of this particular letter. It reads: “Dear Speaker, RE: APPERANCE BEFORE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES The office has received numerous invitations to appear before several committees of Parliament and I have endeavoured to be present on as many occasions as I have been able to. On a number of occasions when I have been unable to attend, the committees have expressed their disapproval in a very strong language. First, I wish to inform that the National Security Council meets every Tuesday while the Cabinet meets every Thursday. I am also aware that Parliament does not sit on Monday and Friday. There is therefore need for the committees to arrange for meetings after consultation with my office on the only day available to both, which is Wednesday. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
