    "content": "Hon. Malulu Injendi, it looks like you are engaging in a monologue. You have talked about your first question and then you want to go to your second one. If you intended this Statement to be a Question, you should have framed it as such. You are bound by your pleadings. You boxed yourself into a corner. If you had asked a Question, I am sure that the Chair of the Committee would have invited you to attend the meeting when the CS was present, so that you ask him the very good questions that you are asking. Hon. Florence Mutua has read out what she was given. You are raising very good questions, lakini ni ile inaitwa kwa Kiswahili gumzo mtaani . We should not reduce the House to this. The issues that you have raised are very weighty. I believe that if you had gone the route of a Question and the Cabinet Secretary was present and you framed supplementary questions, I am sure that the Committee, you and the entire country would have extracted very good responses which would go towards helping or achieving the objective which you had intended with this request. When you go the route of request for a Statement, I am sure Hon. Florence Mutua will say what she is given by the Ministry. Then, we shall rest the matter there. I can see that a few others want to weigh in. However, I will not allow them because we do not want to talk because it is fashionable to do it. I have seen your interventions, but I will not allow you to contribute. We do not want to talk to ourselves. The Member has raised very many good issues in the first question. I believe that if you asked the Cabinet Secretary to address them, the country would be better off with the responses. You can raise them now. However, I am sure Hon. Mutua will tell you what she was told and then we will go for the weekend after that. Go ahead. You should raise those issues through a Question. It does not matter how long it will be because you will get a lot of useful information. They can only be answered by the Cabinet Secretary when he and his team are present. Proceed with gumzo mtaani ."
