Committee chairman Benjamin Lang'at read out part of Mr Mwagonah's letter.
"He has set the three conditions," said Mr Langat.
The committee did not take Mr Mwagonah's refusal and the setting of conditions kindly, and a majority of members led by Mr Langat criticised him.
"He has to appear in person and number two, our Standing Orders provide for situations where we can hold proceedings in camera," said Mr Langat.
This was backed by MPs Dr Oburu Oginga, Raheem Dawood, Shakeel Shabbir and Mary Emaase.
The committee is expected to make a decision on the way forward.
