    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I think we are on a learning curve. Under Standing Order No.1 and Standing Order No.1, where you have powers; you have ordered that NLC be summoned by the relevant Committee. I need two directions. One, what happens when a Cabinet Secretary appears before the Floor of the House on a Question that has been given at least seven days’ notice but he does not have a substantive answer? Secondly, we have a gap in Standing Order No.51B, on Supplementary Questions. An example is the question I asked; how many people who were evicted in Nandi have been compensated? However, he did not have an answer. What happens to such Questions? Do we go to the relevant Committee or make it a Primary Question in future? Should we directly contact the Cabinet Secretary although I highly discourage this because it will be more efficient to go through your office? I need guidance on how to go about it. What happens when we raise supplementary questions but the Cabinet Secretary has no answer? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know going into the future, many Cabinet Secretaries will be appearing before the Senate. We may raise supplementary questions that do not arise from the Primary Question. Therefore, you need to provide guidance on how to handle supplementary questions that a CS does not provide a substantive answer immediately or as is the case of Sen. Dullo’s Question. I believe the CS for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Njeru, and the NLC are working together. Unless he can submit before the House that they are working cross purposely."
