    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have heard that the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts, has sent an apology. As such, I request your guidance on two issues under Standing Order No.1. One, there were allegations that the Cabinet Secretary had written to you and your counterpart in the National Assembly, requesting to appear to answer questions specifically to the Majority Leader of the National Assembly, Hon. Ichungwa and Sen. Cherarkey. I need your direction on that letter. The practice In jurisdictions all over the world is that no one directs or even requests to appear before Parliament. So, I will request that you inform the House on the status of that letter and whether it originated from the Cabinet Secretary Finally, we amended the Senate Standing Orders as a result of an engagement with the President. He requested that we let the Cabinet Secretaries appear before Parliament and answer questions. There is chaos in the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts. If you remember, the said Cabinet Secretary was well aware of his appearance to the House today, unless you confirm otherwise. Madam Temporary Speaker, sports is in chaos. Look at football, volleyball and athletics. You saw an athlete by the name of Ng’eno being attacked by a dog in Argentina. Neither the Kenyan Ambassador in Argentina nor the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts has issued a protest note against the attack. There is a problem with our sports."
