On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to tell us that he is setting up a committee to investigate whether people were beaten when an agency of the Government; the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), has the report showing the Imams and the number of people who are lying in hospital after being beaten and the 15 women who were raped?

In 2(a), it is saying that the commissioners to be appointed under Sub-Section (b) shall be recommended by the Panel of Eminent African Personalities. The others shall be nominated by Parliament. Parliament will then forward the names to the President for appointment.
