"content": "always forgiveness for first-time offenders. If you break the law, they will tell you to agree that you did so and you are pardoned. Thereafter, they file it just the way they used to do in our high schools. When you break the law again, they will pull your file and take necessary remedies. Therefore, I think the Cabinet Secretary is in order. This is the first time we are inviting him to appear before this House. When somebody says he is unable to appear before the House because of either reason, including sickness or family issues being the first time, I do not think we should be very harsh to the Cabinet Secretary. We should instead congratulate him in the sense that this country is going to host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). That is a big thing that has never happened in this country. It is history in the making. So, we should not try to summon the good Cabinet Secretary. Let us just give him that opportunity and hope that he does not repeat the mistake. We are told a mistake is not a mistake, it becomes a mistake when you repeat it. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us just agree with the fact that he requested the Senate to indulge him not to appear today but to appear next Wednesday. If he does not appear next Wednesday, then we can have this discussion. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
