    "content": "Order, hon. Members! I have heard the sentiments expressed by the Member for Ikolomani followed by the Member for Garsen and finally the Member for Gwassi. I am satisfied that the directions that I gave on 23rd June, 2010 were categorical in respect of the tabling of the Report by the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. However, as things stand now, the Minister has been able to share with me a letter addressed to him by the KACC indicating that the KACC has transmitted that Report to the Attorney-General. So, as it is, Prof. Saitoti does not have the capacity to table the Report because he does not have it; it has, instead, been forwarded to the Attorney-General. As I said and sympathizing with sentiments of hon. Members, which I believe have been expressed on behalf of the House, I have a feeling, Prof. Saitoti, that perhaps the KACC is trying to circumvent the directives made by Mr. Speaker. So as to bring that matter immediately under check, I order that the Attorney- General tables that Report in the House on Tuesday at 2.30 p.m. Like I said when I made the directions last week, I will make further findings on what the law provides with respect to what the fate of the Report of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) ought to be. If the procedure is in the know, obviously, as the legislative organ, we are bound to comply with the law and the Chair will ensure that we, the House, and the Minister do so. Those were my words last week. I am transferring these words to apply to the Attorney-General. The House will ensure that the Attorney-General complies with the law. To begin with, he must table the Report in the House."
