    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first allow me to congratulate you for your resilience. The Communication being referred to was made at exactly midnight, and that is a sign of the commitment of this House. You were a bit lenient in your Communication. I do not think that such conduct should just be reprimanded and left at that. I would like to urge you that this particular Cabinet Secretary, who uses social media to disparage the House, to refer to matters before the House and to speak of the House in a manner that is extremely demeaning, should be summoned to appear before the House to substantiate those claims that he has made. Those kind of utterances have got the effect of belittling this House and taking away any credibility this House would have in future impeachments. We have processed many impeachments in this House. If the conduct of CS Moses Kuria was to be considered, his conduct falls within the threshold of impeachment. If he was a governor and he was brought to this House, he would definitely be impeached. ` I urge Members of the other House - because they are the ones who have the responsibility of censuring and sending home Cabinet Secretaries - to take serious judicial notice of the conduct of this particular Cabinet Secretary. In addition, this House, through the relevant Committee, can come up with resolutions that can then be used to move the other House to discuss his conduct and have him censured. I hope that Sen. Cheruiyot, because you have the ear of the President who is the appointing authority, let us not just complain in this House; go and tell the boss that this person is an embarrassment, not just to the Government, but to the Republic of Kenya. He is an embarrassment to the entire East Africa. The deals he has done has made Kenya look like a pariah when it comes to issues of supply chain of oil and edible oil. This man must go. We must pronounce ourselves."
