    "content": "characters are many. Fortunately, I do not engage with them but my Members do. The reports that I am getting is that there is a number of them who are behaving in a similar manner. We want to remind them wherever they are, that you cannot wield more power than the people elected by Kenyans, sent to this House to represent them and address the issues of concern to the whole country. You could be sitting in State House or in your Cabinet Secretary’s offices, but you must understand that this House has got authority over you. I want to really plead with them. On the face of it, this letter is really insulting. It is dated 5th July 2023, which is today. I am told that this is the day she was required to be here because I do not take much interest. If you got a letter inviting you to Parliament for whatever reason, be it to the Committee, Committee of the whole House or the House for whatever reason three weeks in advance, you cannot wait until the last minute and then write to Parliament that you are engaged in some nebulous activity in some dingy places and hence you will not make it. You cannot do that. As I conclude, I will be inviting my colleagues, especially the ones on this side of the House, to move a Motion of impeachment against the said Cabinet Secretary. They should not only wait for Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, the Leader of the Majority Party, to initiate the process of sending this Cabinet Secretary home. You will get my fullest support. Thank you."
