    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to repeat what my colleagues have said. With all tremendous respect, I know you have the power to rearrange the Order Paper as per the Standing Orders. However, how do we look before Kenyans if we can wait for a Cabinet Secretary? Can you rule that the Cabinet Secretary appears in the next possible sitting so that we can proceed with other matters? I am aware of the issue of leaking roofs at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and roads that have been swept away by floods. These are issues we needed the Hon. Murkomen to come and clarify and whether the Ministry is putting interventions in terms of dealing with the issue of flooding in the country or not. What we are arguing is for neatness in the House since you have now rearranged the Order Paper; which you have the powers to, as per the Standing Orders. In fact, Parliament does not even wait for a President. If we wait for a Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Murkomen, it will be a national embarrassment together with what is happening at JKIA; the leaking terminal roofs. Out of respect, I know you are good and a gentleman, I request you allow the House to proceed, advice the SBC - because you are a learned senior counsel - that out of the neatness, respect and tradition of this House, let the Cabinet Secretary be allowed to appear at a later date and then we can proceed with other matters. There is the extension of the Ad Hoc Committee by Sen. Chute. There is the issue of the debate of the Presidential State of the Nation Address. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
