She says that the request she made was that she would wish not to be the first to appear and that she appears later than between 11.00 a.m. and 12.00 noon. Therefore, she finds the fact that it is still 10.00 a.m. pre-mature for us to pass judgment that she is not appearing. She has said that she is finishing up the briefing and will be here by midday."

When we made the decision at the SBC yesterday, the letter indicated that she appears at 11.00 a.m. The only adjustment she made was for her to come at 12.00 noon. Therefore, I stand guided up to there. I have seen copy of the letter where we had told her to come at 11.00 a.m."

"content": " Hon. Senators, let us make progress. I know the House is extremely disappointed. You are unhappy with the conduct of the Cabinet Secretaries not just today, but for the many times that they have opted not to respect invitations from this House. If we proceed and I give each one of you a chance, the story will be the same; expressing disappointment and displeasure at the conduct of these Cabinet Secretaries. Now that we have an indication that the hon. Aisha Jumwa will appear in this House at noon, we will proceed under Standing Order No.45 (2) to rearrange the sequence of today’s Order Paper, so that we proceed with other business as indicated in the Order Paper. Then when she appears at noon, we will proceed to give her an opportunity to respond to the Questions that had been directed to her. As far as the Prime Cabinet Secretary is concerned, if the House or anyone of you is persuaded that his non-appearance and the reason given for that non-appearance is unreasonable, then you can invoke Standing Order No.51(d). Otherwise, if it is lamenting, you have done enough. You need to proceed to act on this matter. Next Wednesday, I will not be surprised if we go through the same motion of lamenting. The Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader, you need to put this matter to rest. We cannot allow one or two hours of hon. Senators lamenting every Wednesday morning. It is either you bite or when a Cabinet Secretary does not appear, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your clarification on whether the options of this House are limited to the provisions of Standing Order No.51(d). Why is the option of the fines and other penalties that are available to the committee not available to this House as a whole? Censure Motion is a longer route. At the Committee on Energy, my Chairperson, Sen. Wamatinga, fines people liberally for failing to appear. I do not know why this is not an action we can take this morning for the failure to appear by the Cabinet Secretary because we are not satisfied by the explanation he has given."
