    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the chairperson must be put under pressure. This is serious business and I want the chairperson to sit down and listen to us instead of engaging Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. The Chairperson should sit down and listen to us. This morning up to the afternoon there were more than 20 Senators here. Members spoke candidly and seriously. The distinguished Senator for Busia was very candid in his presentation and so were all the other Senators: Sen. Orengo, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Cheruiyot. Before we left, we gave the Chairperson clear direction that he was going to bring a report that would deal with the issue of hiking fuel prices, skyrocketing electricity bills and above all, the conduct of two Cabinet Secretaries and their attitudes towards this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very offensive to this House for two Cabinet Secretaries to be invited to come to the House to deal with a national crisis and none of them turns up, not even their Principal Secretaries or a representative to come and tender an apology as to why they were not here. One CS, hon. Keter, who is a former colleague here simply sent a message that the matter does not concern him. This is serious. What the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy, Sen. (Eng.) Maina has read here is a total departure from what we agreed on. We had agreed that he brings an interim report that will trigger debate on a matter of serious national importance that is engulfing the country today."
