When we stay with Petitions for five or six months without responding to them and they have been brought by some communities who are either oppressed, or because they have issues, this House looks very bad to the public. 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."

This is so that we expedite our work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was reporting that we have more than 400 Statements, which have not been responded to. These statements have been brought to this House by Members, fellow Senators. When we meet at the Liaison Committee like we will be doing today at 1.00 p.m., we will have no alternative, but to just read figures like how many statements are pending. There are 400. How many Petitions have exceeded 60 days? They are almost 30 Petitions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to have a candid discussion. We will send the Senate Majority Leader to the House on the Hill to tell the President that we are not doing well in the matter of the appearance of the Cabinet Secretaries."

The Clerk of the Senate writes directly to the Principal Secretary, communicating anything from the Senate. The same way, only the Principal Secretary should communicate to the Clerk of the Senate. This letter should be null and void because this is what we call in Kiswahili, madharau ."

However, the way these Cabinet Secretaries are treating us is just like primary or high school boys. This House should be respected and at no time, as Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have put it, should we come here to wail and cry, but action should be taken. The Senate Majority Leader should not bother calling any Cabinet Secretary to appear here. We will use Standing Order No.51(d) promptly on the one not interested to appear, so that we censure these people. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
