    "content": "Hon. Mututho, whereas the Chair would want to see that HANSARD, there is a firm reflection on the part of the Chair; a direction that was given to your Committee to spearhead this particular Report to be generated by you, but in the form of a Joint Committee with all the relevant committees. The best reflection of the Chair is that, as the Chair of the Liaison Committee and the authority that approves Committees when they go out to carry out their role of scrutiny, to my best of recollection, I have not seen an application from your Committee or a Joint Committee for that matter to undertake this task. The Chair was very categorical in this particular case. The Chair, indeed, said: “Hon. Members, I understand the seriousness of the matter. Indeed the Chair sees it with all the seriousness it deserves. You can only seek redress through other provisions of the Standing Orders if you do not feel satisfied with the ruling that the House gave Mr. Mututho or, for that matter, any other Member. You can seek an Adjournment Motion at the end of the sitting under Standing Order No.16 to exhaustively deal with this matter. In the meantime, given the nature of the problem and the risk it poses to Kenyans, the Chair directs that a Joint Committee of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives, the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and the Departmental Committee on Health moves with speed and reports back to the House on this serious matter.” Have you done the needful in this case in the form of a joint Committee? Have you had problems also interesting the other Committee Chairs? If you have had problems, have you come to the Chairman of the Liaison Committee, who is none other than the person on the Chair now, on those frustrations?"
