    "content": " Hon. Senators, let us make progress. I know the House is extremely disappointed. You are unhappy with the conduct of the Cabinet Secretaries not just today, but for the many times that they have opted not to respect invitations from this House. If we proceed and I give each one of you a chance, the story will be the same; expressing disappointment and displeasure at the conduct of these Cabinet Secretaries. Now that we have an indication that the hon. Aisha Jumwa will appear in this House at noon, we will proceed under Standing Order No.45 (2) to rearrange the sequence of today’s Order Paper, so that we proceed with other business as indicated in the Order Paper. Then when she appears at noon, we will proceed to give her an opportunity to respond to the Questions that had been directed to her. As far as the Prime Cabinet Secretary is concerned, if the House or anyone of you is persuaded that his non-appearance and the reason given for that non-appearance is unreasonable, then you can invoke Standing Order No.51(d). Otherwise, if it is lamenting, you have done enough. You need to proceed to act on this matter. Next Wednesday, I will not be surprised if we go through the same motion of lamenting. The Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader, you need to put this matter to rest. We cannot allow one or two hours of hon. Senators lamenting every Wednesday morning. It is either you bite or when a Cabinet Secretary does not appear, 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."
