    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 216 on the mandate of Departmental Committees as read together with the provisions of Article 95(2) of the Constitution regarding the role of the House in resolving issues of concern to the people. There have been concerns on failure of persons in public offices to comply with court orders. A case in point is the recent order on Hon. Sossion to resume his office as the Secretary- General of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT). Despite that court order, the Inspector General of Police has declined to enforce this lawful order yet he continues to occupy office and enjoy the privileges of the Office of Inspector General. This is just not one case alone. Even in my constituency, Endebess Farmers Investment got a court order that directed that the police were not to evict the occupants of that farm but the sub-county commander of police disobeyed the order and went ahead and demolished and destroyed those houses. The matter is before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Hon. Deputy Speaker, would it be in order to ask you to order the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs or that on Administration and National Security to inquire into these matters and others where the rule of law is not being respected by public officers? I seek your guidance."
