    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I join my colleagues in expressing the strongest reservations on what we should be doing. When we amended the Standing Orders, it was in the interest of the people we represent. We do not represent ourselves. We used to see this habit of Cabinet Secretaries not appearing when required in committees. However, it looks like we have been lax enough that they are now taking Plenary for granted. If we were aware that the Cabinet Secretaries for Roads and Transport, National Treasury and Economic Planning, and the one for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage were not going to appear, we would not have scheduled them on the Order Paper. We would be doing Motions, Bills, or other Statements. It is very unfortunate because today in the morning, we woke up very early. Yesterday, I heard through rumours that Cabinet Secretaries would not be appearing. I wish that in the future, as my colleagues have suggested, they communicate to us. I am the heaviest casualty because three-quarters of the questions that were to be asked were through yours truly. The people of Nandi County were glued to their television stations knowing that we would get real answers today on the status of roads. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services, Senate."
