    "content": "Hon. Members, let us not make this matter our main business. Fortunately, the points that Hon. Wamalwa has just made were contained in my Speech earlier today. It is regarding the provisions of Article 125. You know, we have raised it here before. We would want this House to express itself one way or another. I am also aware that the Committee on Procedure and House Rules sat this morning, under the chairmanship of the Deputy Speaker. This must be one of the issues that were being addressed. It is a matter of great concern. I am aware. We need to look at Article 125. When it says Parliament or any of its Committees can summon any person to appear before it to give information and/or evidence, it is all right. We know where or how Committees work. It says “Parliament”. It starts with “Parliament”. Parliament sits in plenary. It means the National Assembly or the Senate. When it sits, it does so in its plenary. So, these are weighty issues that need to be addressed. The Leader of the Majority Party will have to take up this matter. I am sure that the Members raising issues were not the only ones whose Questions were scheduled to be responded to by the CS, as read out by the Majority Whip last Thursday. There were more than just those two statements. There were several. That is why that CS had been scheduled to take slightly over an hour in responding. It is because the Questions were many. I do not want to pre-empt what decision you may wish to make with regard to the report that will come from the Committee on Procedure and House Rules. If you want to address this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
