    "content": "I stand on the Floor of this House to say: Shame on them! The power they think they have is derived from the people and must be exercised it for the benefit the benefits of those people who have left us in this struggle. Madam Deputy Speaker, the other Cabinet Secretary has presided over the high cost of electricity. What is annoying is that when they are called to account and shed some light for the benefit of Kenyans, they refuse to turn up and begin to give all manner of excuses for non-appearance. I stand on the Floor of this House to shame the two Cabinet Secretaries because the power that they think they have is derived from the people. It must, therefore, be exercised for the benefit of those people. The only persons who are elected representatives of the people in the Executive, is the President and the Deputy President. Cabinet Secretaries are just appointees of the President. The worst enemies of the Jubilee Government are to be found within the Cabinet Secretaries because they are giving the Government a very bad name; that when they are called upon to account for the decisions made in their ministries, they do not want to turn up. In conclusion, my political party, the Wiper Party, has gone into a working agreement with the Jubilee administration. The purpose of that agreement is to push the Government agenda for the benefit of the people of Kenya in Parliament and out of Parliament. Anything else that speaks contrary to development, the rights and welfare of the people, our party is not part of that decision. We cannot be seen to be pushing forward an agenda, which we strongly believe is not for the good of this nation. In conclusion, the high cost of fuel and the high cost of electricity in this country has made life almost unbearable for the people of Kitui. I stand here as the Senator for Kitui County to deliver their message. They people of Kitui County have said that to the extent that they have a Government, that the party they support has said is in corporation with, they want to see the price of fuel coming down as well as a decrease in the cost of electricity. That is the message that I am here to deliver from Kitui County loud and clear. I beg to support."
