    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. If you allow me, I wish to address the following to the House with regard to Questions. On Wednesday, 25th November 2020, the following Questions came up for reply by the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security: (i) Question No. 256/2020 by Hon. Robert Mbui; (ii) Question No. 194/2020 by Hon. Qalicha Wario; (iii) Question No. 250/2020 by Hon. Alfred Masadia; (iv) Question No. 301/2020 by Hon. Caleb Kositany; (v) Question No. 297/2020 by Hon. Josphat Kabeabea; (vi) Question No. 304/2020 by Hon. Benjamin Tayari; (vii) Question by Private Notice No. 024/2020 by Hon. Silvanus Maritim; and, (viii) Question No. 328/2020 by Hon. (Ms.) Faith Gitau. It is regretted that the Committee had no choice but to drop all these Questions in line with the provisions of Standing Order No. 42 (c) (5), after Members who raised them were absent without the Committee’s Chairperson’s permission and nobody communicated to me. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the House puts in a lot of effort, time and resources processing Member’s Questions for reply by CSs. Ministries, on the other hand, also put in a lot of effort, time and resources preparing replies to Member’s Questions. When Members do not appear before committees for replies to the Questions, all efforts, time and resources put in by the House and Ministries go to waste. On behalf of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, I appeal to all Members raising Questions before committees of the House to ensure they appear before the replies. I thank you."
