    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard the Leader of the Majority Party asking to be given about three weeks to be able to find out whether Mwende Mwinzi was given an appointment letter and whether she has renounced her US citizenship. I think three weeks will be too much time. I have an issue with the time because this is something that has been on and off. My request to you, Hon. Speaker, and to the Leader of the Majority Party, is that we step the matter down, but reduce the time to two weeks, because to get information from the relevant offices should take the Leader of the Majority Party at least a week. Therefore, the next week is when the House Business Committee should schedule this debate so that we can finish this matter. As much as we do not want to refer to things that we have seen out there, apparently we are in receipt of information that she has taken up her appointment in Seoul, South Korea. That would be an abuse to this House because this House does not do anything in vain. We would demand that if she has been appointed, the Cabinet Secretary should be censured and action be taken against her for having disobeyed the law. That would be an abuse of the law and of her office. We will be taking action against the CS should that have happened. As much as we do not anticipate anything, that is the fact. Should the CS have made an appointment without the approval of this House, then she is in breach of the law and action should be taken against her. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
