"content": "Hon. Members, I want to thank the Leaders of the Majority Party and the Minority Party. This House is the centre of the people’s will. Under Article 153 of the Constitution, Cabinet Secretaries are accountable to the House and the words of the Constitution say: “Whenever required, shall attend to the House.” The Constitution does not say “may attend” or “will attend.” Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, you are showing a good example as the Leader of the Majority Party, together with Hon. Wandayi, the Leader of the Minority Party. Kindly, inform the Cabinet Secretary and all the others that none of them comes to the House at their choosing. They come to the House when there is material for them to come and attend to. It is contemptable for a Cabinet Secretary to write a letter to say that he or she is not coming today but next week. She does not know what is there next Wednesday. Let us now have the Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, Ms. Alice Wahome. We have about four Questions for you. I want you to compose your answers. I should be done with you in an hour. The Questions must be asked first. The Member for Alego Usonga, Hon. Samuel Atandi."
