Charity Ngilu, EGH; that the Departmental Committee on Lands seeks to censure her for not appearing before it on 11th November, 2014. This is a matter of concern as the true position on the issue is as follows:- On 31st October, 2014, the Cabinet Secretary was invited by the Clerk of the National Assembly to appear before the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) on Tuesday, 11th November, 2014 at 10.00 a.m. In the meantime, the Cabinet Secretary appeared before the Lands Committee on 4th November, 2014 and the meeting was re-scheduled to Tuesday, 11th November, 2014 at 10.00 at the request of the Cabinet Secretary. This re-scheduling obviously led to a mix up where the same Cabinet Secretary was required to appear before two Committees at the same time. Aware of this, the Clerk’s Office, on Monday, 10th November, 2014 got in touch with the Office of the Cabinet Secretary and was informed that the Cabinet Secretary would appear before the CIOC, being the invitation that went to her earlier, and that the Cabinet Secretary had requested to appear before the Lands Committee at a later date. A letter from the Cabinet Secretary to this effect was received in Parliament’s Registry on 10th November, 2014 at 4.00 p.m. and was dispatched to the Committee on Tuesday, 11th November, 2014. I am also informed by the Clerk’s Office that indeed the Lands 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."
