    "content": "Hon. Members, the broader question of the remedies available to the House when the Executive does not abide by a resolution of the House remains unanswered. In this respect, hon. Members may wish to note that Standing Order No.196 mandates the Committee on Implementation to scrutinize the resolutions of the House and recommend appropriate action for non-compliance. The Committee scrutinizes resolutions and examines whether or not such decisions and undertakings have been implemented, and where implemented, the extent to which they have been implemented and whether such implementation has taken place timeously. The Committee is further empowered to propose sanctions to the House on any Minister who fails to implement resolutions of the House. Additionally, the House, as hon. Members are aware, has at its disposal and can invoke its recognized instruments of oversight over the Executive. This brings us to the issue of options available to the House if the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance makes remarks outside the House that he will not introduce a Bill to amend the National Assembly Remuneration Act, Chapter 5 of the Laws of Kenya, although he has not been denied an opportunity to make such remarks in the House."
