    "content": "in Parliament. However, my conviction is that the Powers and Privileges Committee, if it continues with diligence in the manner in which this particular one has proceeded, we will not have to set up a separate ombudsman to look at issues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as an institution, we need to take a position to protect our oversight Committees. Invariably, oversight Committees will rattle powerful persons who want to violate the law and who want to dip their hands in places that they are not supposed to. We need to have that conversation and find a way of buttressing these oversight institutions to ensure that when Parliament indicts certain persons, those people then do not use internal mechanisms to delay. Finally, I am very happy that having looked at the Supplementary Order Paper, the tabling of this Report by the Powers and Privileges Committee gives us a golden opportunity to conclude the work which the Committee on Public Accounts and Investment (CPAIC) has done and has captured public attention and imagination. Today, I am a happy man. Even though I seem to have expressed some concern at the pace of matters, it was just anxiety because we wanted the matter to be resolved. I will tell the Powers and Privileges Committee; well done, what you have done is the right approach. By the time we are discussing the Ruaraka Report, there will be no argument that it was a Report that was procured illegally."
