    "content": "Therefore, because of this I want to urge that this matter be taken with the seriousness it deserves. It should go before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs so that it is dealt with by the two Committees to show the seriousness. If we leave this trend to continue, next time it will not just be people outside Parliament, it will be visited upon MPs. So, to show the seriousness those two Committees should deal with it. I would also want to urge that as the Committees deal, there are issues Members have raised which I think should be looked at against our Standing Orders and the Constitution. When we have interim orders, we should look at them against an ongoing case. If we let this to go on it means we are ceding our own oversight role. An interim order is an order and to that extent then the matter is determined for purposes of application. So, I would want the Committees to address themselves to the issue of an interim order so that if there is a stay order - well we cannot injunct the Government. But, if there is an order directing them to act in a given way, then they need to deal. I think this House needs to pronounce itself very strongly against Government agencies that are not following the law. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want your direction. I was standing on a point of order earlier on a different issue which Hon. Duale had raised. I do not know whether I can raise it now very shortly."
