    "content": "that media houses should respect this House and the responsibility that they should carry. However, I would be lying to myself to say that I am comfortable with the direction you gave. When we adjourned temporarily, I expected the Chairperson of my Committee to prepare a report and table before the House. However, when we got back here, the Senate Minority Leader tabled a Notice of Motion to discuss a very important matter. The two Cabinet Secretaries who were supposed to appear before this House today is what we were going to discuss here this afternoon. I am not comfortable with the fact that we are now going to make it a debate. I am not so sure what that debate will result to, yet we have not completed the work that we are supposed to do. This issue really bothers me. It also makes me realize and support everyone who talks about a system that is mixed, where the Cabinet Secretaries sit in the Houses of Parliament, so that they can be made accountable. The Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining, Hon. Munyes and the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Hon. Keter, are making a mockery of this House. We cannot just fold and decide to discuss other issues such as how the media behaves. By doing that, it also makes us unaccountable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a task that we are supposed to complete as the Committee on Energy. You gave a direction on the task and we have not completed it. We now have a Notice of Motion to come and discuss the two Cabinet Secretaries tomorrow. What happens to the issue of fuel prices? Will it change once we discuss the two characters tomorrow? What should we be doing this afternoon? I am bothered because I do not want to be unaccountable like those Cabinet Secretaries."
