I cannot understand what happened. All were involved. The Chief Registrar and the JSC were all involved. None of these guys is innocent.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that there is a process to be followed in order for them to go.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, there are three allegations which they have made. The other allegation is on Article 245(4) which provides that no person may give direction to the Inspector-General with respect to the investigation of any particular offence. The said member of the JSC signed a resolution directing the police not to arrest and charge staff who were alleged to have stolen. If these guys did this, it is criminal and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is me who brought up the issue. I said that the payment was being made in dollars and yet Kenya is not Zambia. Secondly, I said that the place is in Upper Hill. Thirdly, I said that the building was paid for before it was completed. However, the big issue here is that we need a report from the expert. Normally, such issues are investigated by the Auditor-General who gives a report to this House, it is debated and adopted. We should not sit here and act out of emotions as Members of Parliament.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, how can we take a lease in this country in dollars? How can you do it? How can the building be paid for before it is completed?

Hon. Speaker, Sir, finally, it is true that these people never appeared before the Committee but the Committee never put it in the report as one of the reasons for them--- If they did not appear, was it a breach of the Constitution? That is the issue that we have as Members. What is the remedy if the JSC Commissioners refused to appear before the Committee? Otherwise, it is baseless for us to adopt this report. I strongly oppose this report because it is poorly prepared. The report is not even numbered and some pages are missing.
