    "content": "I say this to the Chairperson: You must ruffle feathers. You must speak boldly. You must speak to Kenyans because Kenyans do not want the sort of report I have seen in 411 on Citizen news, saying that the Committee of the Whole has been snubbed by the two Cabinet Secretaries. It bothered us a lot that whilst in the HANSARD it is reported that the Speaker asked the Committee to summon the Cabinet Secretaries, the report that went to those Cabinet Secretaries is an invitation. We feel belittled. To add insult to injury, the Statement that I brought on the fuel prices in March is still unanswered to date. Even if we have no mandate under the Constitution to censure Cabinet Secretaries, let us start by censuring them now because we have a mandate under the Constitution to defend the people who elected us. The fact that we have no mandate under Tax Law under 114 for Money Bills is not an excuse. Sen. Orengo mentioned this in the morning that whilst it is not our mandate to pass finance laws, we are equally to blame for the problems that Kenyans are suffering. We would not want to sit here as if we are having a dinner speech wearing tuxedoes to massage the truth. What the chairperson is doing is massaging the truth. We will not accept. Thank you."
