"content": "Number one, you understand that in scheduling of questions, we do it one week prior, at the very minimum. So, there is no Cabinet Secretary who can say they have been ambushed. Yesterday, we scheduled all the Questions of the Cabinet Secretaries that are supposed to appear. In fact, it is only that because we are going on recess. However, we gave them more than seven days. Previously, we had taken the position that the Cabinet Secretaries that are appearing before us should give their apology, notifying the House of their unavailability, seven days before as well, so that, as a House, we do not grope in the dark. We should know the reasons a certain Cabinet Secretary is not going to appear before us in advance. I have with me three copies of letters. One is from Hon. Soipan Tuya, responding to a letter, which we sent on the 21st May. They are all citing this meeting that is going on at Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC). It is an important meeting, but I do not believe that it is an emergency. I do not think that it was planned just the other day."
