    "content": "These are Kenyans who are already in custody in a foreign land. The Cabinet Secretary was supposed to come and address Kenyans here on what steps he is taking and he is not coming? You can see the extent of the pain that he is causing Kenyans by failing to come. Therefore, I agree with the Senate Majority Leader that this should not be taken lightly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you should also give guidance because when a Member in this particular House is out of order, you expel him or her from this sitting. What is the redress for the Kenyan people who are suffering, those who need to be addressed on matters of health, security, and water and the Cabinet Secretaries in charge fail to appear? I think serious sanctions should be put in place. I think that this House has the power to discipline these Cabinet Secretaries. The first time you may impose the payment of fine of Kshs500,000 to these two Cabinet Secretaries who have failed to appear before this House. Going forward as I conclude, it is even more worrying that not only are they failing to appear here, they even fail to appear before the Committees. They do not appear in the chamber neither do they appear in the Committees. How will this House function in serving Kenyans? It is painful. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think you have the powers to impose certain serious penalties to these Cabinet Secretaries. Thank you."
