"content": "their character and career that they were given the responsibility. That should become a matter of future reference on them that they snubbed Parliament, abdicated responsibility, were unresponsive to the plight of Kenyans and were uncaring in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities. That is what it is. In comparable jurisdictions, the Attorney-General of Northern Ireland, who was a counterpart of Amos Wako--- The police were looking for a suspect of the equivalent of the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) and they found him hiding in the servant quarters of the Attorney-General. It was proven that the Attorney-General did not even know that that fellow was in his quarters. He promptly resigned and went home. In Tanzania, during the time of President Magufuli, when a friend of mine who was a Minister failed to go to Parliament to answer questions, President Magufuli promptly dismissed him and he left the Cabinet. That has happened in many places. There is something that has been doing rounds on social media. There is a Minister who arrived late in Parliament to answer questions and the Speaker censured him. He promptly resigned and left the Cabinet. He did not fail to arrive but he arrived late. These ones do not even arrive, explain or say anything. They are now behaving and talking the language of Simon and Garfunkel known as the Sound of Silence. We want to tell them that the sound of silence is louder than spoken words. We need the President to tell his Cabinet Secretaries that they have a duty to him as they have a duty to Parliament because this is the House of representatives. Anything that touches and affects the people must be dealt with in this House."
