    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to know if the letter that went to the Cabinet Secretary stated Standing Order No.51(c)(5), which reads- “A Cabinet Secretary shall provide a physical and electronic copy of a response to a Question at least twenty-four hours before appearing before the Senate.” Standing Order 51(d) is also clear. It states- “The Senate may, where a Cabinet Secretary fails, without reasonable cause, to appear and respond to Questions under this Part, move a Motion to censure the Cabinet Secretary.” Hon. Speaker, Sir, I do not know if the letter that was sent to them spelt out these Standing Orders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was to travel to Marsabit yesterday. However, I had posed a question to the Cabinet Secretary in regards to public interest on electricity issues. Some months back, this country was in darkness for almost 20 hours. The question was very simple. We have a problem. Will it repeat? What caused it? Who is going to pay the cost? Unfortunately, the Cabinet Secretary is not here today to answer those questions. I also want to support what Sen. Kathuri has said. A widow from Marsabit lost her husband, Eng. Guyo, about three years ago. She asked me to go to the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to see if she can get the dues that are payable to her."
