    "content": "under Sub-Article (2)(e) the Attorney-General of Kenya is a member of that particular important commission. Hon. Speaker, if you allow me again, I want to take the Members to Article 156 of the Constitution that specifies the functions of the AG of the Republic of Kenya. It says:- “(1)There is established the office of the Attorney-General”. Sub-Article 4(a) says:- “The Attorney-General─ (a) is the principal legal adviser to the Government.” I want to raise this matter in connection with the matter that is in the public domain, a matter that has caused a lot of anxiety to this country with regard to the formation of a tribunal to probe the conduct of Justice Tunoi. I am raising this issue because if we remember very well, the team that was formed at the initial stage to establish whether the affidavit that was given to the Chief Justice (CJ) and any material to be substantiated, the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya was a member. It is out of the recommendation from that sub-committee that the JSC, in its wisdom, decided to do a report to the President of the Republic of Kenya recommending the formation of a tribunal to probe Justice Tunoi. What worries me is that yesterday, there was some information that had gone public that the President required time by yesterday - or was not in a hurry to form the tribunal because there was a matter that was pending before a court of law challenging the retirement age of Justice Tunoi."
