    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While respecting your ruling, I just wish to remind the House that I had sought for these reports sometime last year when you ruled that you had no power to compel the Executive. Now, there is the Constitution with which you could have compelled the Executive. I seek your direction; will questions of this Parliament be henceforth addressed to the courts of law where now I have been referred to go and seek direction? In the three arms of Government, Parliament is supreme. Are we going to henceforth direct questions of this House to courts of law? I sought information as a Member of the House and on behalf of Kenyans and with the force of Section 35 of the Constitution. Are we henceforth going to extend questions to the other arm of Government, namely, the Judiciary? I am not seeking interpretation of the law. It is information from the Government, which the Constitution enjoins me to audit in its action."
