    "content": "Before I call my able Deputy Chairman, Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah, to second, there is one thing that I want to urge the Government to do. We have the State Law Office, which is clearly recognised under our Constitution. Of late, there has been a tendency to completely sideline this office, particularly the mandate of the Attorney- General of the Republic of Kenya in the implementation of some of the key Government projects. What many Government organizations have done is that whenever they need legal advice, they look for their lawyer friends, yet constitutionally it is the Attorney- General who is required to offer legal opinion on key projects. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I urge the management of Kenya pipeline to ensure that, in future, such mega projects get a legal opinion of the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya. We expect that the company that has been awarded this tender, Zakhem International Construction Company Limited - It is the same company that did the other facility that was commissioned in 1978. Therefore, they have a bit of institutional memory in as far as this is concerned, although times have changed. I want to ask the management of Zakhem International Construction Company Limited to live up to the expectations of the people 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."
