    "content": "Finally, I want you to also rule on the following two issues. One has been raised by Hon. John Serut. If you look at our Standing Orders, this matter squarely falls under the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. The other one that I want you to rule on is how Members of Parliament need to conduct themselves in a committee. Are we supposed to represent the Executive when we go to the committees? Are we supposed to answer questions on behalf of the committees? Are we supposed to act as advocates, or we are supposed to sit in committees and interrogate? Actually, our role is oversight. We are not part of the Government. I was a bit taken aback when I saw a contingent, a group of Members of Parliament led by the Chairman of the TNA Party. I now understand why TNA is doing very badly in terms of democracy in this country."
