    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the Vice Chairperson of a very important Committee in order to mislead this House that Committees or their Chairpersons have absolutely no power when in fact a Committee can pronounce itself on any matter in exercise of their oversight mandate? Without even being prompted, you can, as the Chairperson or Committee, pronounce yourself on a matter. By now the gravity of that matter is so much that we expected the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations to have moved to site to investigate what is going on. We expected them, to say the least, to have condemned it. We are making this House irrelevant. If we continue saying we are waiting for a Cabinet Secretary to give us the document, what is this House for? For heaven’s sake we are supposed to exercise oversight. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you must give appropriate direction that this Committee must move to site immediately to investigate the atrocities that are going on in Laikipia."
