    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a question to the Cabinet Secretary (CS), but I am now further guided by the answer she has just given and that is in order. Given that this question arose out of a supplementary question, it is not expected that we will get the answers to the questions we are asking for. Therefore, we need to establish a mechanism through which CSs can furnish the House with those additional answers, just as what Senators are doing this morning, seeking for additional information from a CS appearing here. Listening to the questions by colleague Senators, it is possible to quantify what they are asking for. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for example, the CS has just cited one of the indicators we can use to establish the loss in revenue to the country due to these on-going demonstrations; by firstly, the cruise ships that cancelled on account of political instability in the country occasioned by the Azimio protests. These protests unfortunately include Senators from the Coast region who do not understand or have chosen to ignore the plight and difficult challenges that the exercise they are involved in here in Nairobi is causing to their people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, will I be in order to request that the CS further furnishes this House with the response to establish that because the data is there? It is possible to mirror year by year the data that the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) collects on a particular period. The month between March, April and May falls towards the end of the peak of the high season and that can be compared with just the last year. How many tourists came to the country and how many have come this year? That is another indication we can use."
