27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is very straightforward. The CoG is not a legislative arm of Government. When I table documents here from the Auditor- General, I do not send them to the President. The moment I table them here, they become public documents. The CoG is an arm of the Executive.

They have looked at the Senate Bill and seen where it is contravening on its functions. I am sure the CoG is an Executive arm. They are supposed to be summoned by the Senate to answer questions on that Report. The moment it is tabled in the Senate, it becomes a public document and even the citizens in the counties can access it.

You know you have sat with Waiguru. She is also an intelligent woman in her own way. She is not the first one. Anyway, the Minister for Foreign Affairs is a woman.

Temporary Deputy Speaker, during the Committee of the whole House there was an amendment from the Senate targeting Section 2(e) of the Pyrethrum Act. That Section does not exist! You were amending a law that ...
