"content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for that Communication. Along that line, Inshallah, as we approach the new Session, the institutions of Government in this country are answerable to the National Assembly; not even the Senate. They make quarterly reports. Some of those institutions are the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Office of the Auditor- General, the Controller of Budget and even the Judiciary on the state of the Judiciary. Going forward, I think you need to give direction that the respective Committees must look at those reports and bring a report which will be tabled and debated in this House. It does not make sense to always table the quarterly report of the EACC and yet the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs does not give us a report on it. We should discuss the annual reports. These are constitutional provisions. It is just like the state of the nation address by the President. That is why you have made it very clear today that the national Treasury has been giving to this House quarterly reports on the debt management strategy and the loans the national Treasury has acquired. That is a function of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. I really ask Hon. Moses Kuria to know that he now has an opportunity to appear before the Committee and enough time to campaign for his presidential ambition. I think select committees are very complicated. He will lose a lot of time. The Speaker has saved him. He needs to go and popularise his candidature."
