    "content": "because they have those powers. They have the powers to compel any individual or person whether a Member of Parliament or not on a matter before them to produce documents that they need to deal with that matter. Finally, this Committee of Parliamentary Powers and Privileges has the powers to request to do an examination into a witness abroad. So, this is a very important Committee. As we start the new Session of the 12th Parliament, let us make sure that we live by the “hon. Members” title we hold. The title “hon” is not just a title; it is something you live with when within the precincts of Parliament as well as outside. You are a leader. We need to show example to the rest of the country. If you want to be respected, then let us make sure you do not appear before this Committee. I saw in the 10th and 11th Parliament Members were called to this Committee. It is your duty to ensure you are not involved with it. The alternative “Chief Justice”, Hon. Kajwang’, is in the House. So, if he organizes a purported swearing in of a Member of Parliament… You know Hon. “Chief Justice” T.J. Kajwang can purport to do another swearing in of a Member of Parliament outside the precincts of the Chamber. So, if you participate in that swearing in, then definitely you will appear before this Committee. Hon. Speaker, you know Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ was in the Speaker’s Panel. He is a man I respect. When you see him daring it tells you he is not a coward. We have put him in the list of men who can do anything when they believe in it. I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party to second."
