Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13156,"legal_name":"Mutula Kilonzo Jnr","slug":"mutula-kilonzo-jnr"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution – forget about the Standing Orders – the constitution is what gives us power as a Senate or as committees and it says what we should do and on what basis we should act. I sometimes think I say these things too much; but I think I should say it again. Article 125 is clear that when a Committee is acting, it should act as a court and, therefore, they should follow rules of evidence which require that a document must be signed if they are supported, et cetera . There is no other way to describe what the Chairperson has done today other than a flight of fancy, because it really does not meet any threshold; none; zero! Therefore, it is fair that we just set the record straight and forgive the Chairperson for his misadventures and flights of fancy. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."}
