"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, as has been the custom in this House since the beginning of the 13th Parliament, a Cabinet Secretary normally comes to answer questions and requests for statements on Wednesday afternoons. The Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Roads and Transport was expected to appear here before we went on recess. However, we were informed by the Speaker that he had sought the indulgence of the House to skip that session and attend the first Wednesday when the House resumes. I have looked at the Supplementary Order Paper, and there is no indication at all that the Cabinet Secretary will be present in the House today. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I seek your guidance on this matter because this is going to be the second time in a row that the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Roads and Transport has missed these sessions. You need to guide us on what to do because these questions are of importance to our constituencies and to the people of Kenya. If cabinet secretaries cannot spare time to come to Parliament, then I do not understand why we had to amend our Standing Order to ask them to come to the House to answer questions. Thank you."

I have a letter dated 5th November 2024 addressed to the Clerk of the National Assembly and it is signed by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Roads and Transport, Mr Davis Chirchir. It states: I was scheduled to appear before the Plenary of the National Assembly on Wednesday, 6th November. However, I will be accompanying His Excellency the President to the Republic of Sudan on an official visit on the same day. Owing to this, I will not be able to attend this important meeting. I, therefore, request that the meeting be rescheduled to a date that is convenient to the House. The Clerk of the National Assembly has communicated the optional dates that he is supposed to appear."

We have also since written to him requesting him to appear before the House next week, Wednesday, 13th November 2024, together with the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Mr Migos Ogamba. Now that I have the opportunity, I would like to point out that several Members whose Questions were supposed to be answered are not present in the House. I cannot see the Member for Gatanga. He is not here and yet, he has a Question to ask. Similarly, the Member for Embakasi West, Hon. Mark Mwenje, is absent. However, I do see the Member for Baringo Central, Hon. Kandie, and we must commend him for his presence. Hon. Gonzi Rai, the Member for Kinango is not here. The Member for Funyula is always in the House, and he has a Question to ask and he is here."
