    "content": "Now, we expected to have three Cabinet Secretaries today; that is the Prime Cabinet Secretary, the Cabinet Secretary in charge of East African Community (EAC), Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) and Regional Development and the Cabinet Secretary for Health. However, we have since received two letters, one from the Cabinet Secretary in charge of EAC, ASAL and Regional Development indicating that she is not in a position to attend this session today for purposes of responding to the questions directed to her Ministry. Also, the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Health has indicated that she is not in a position to attend today's session for the purpose of responding to the questions directed to her Ministry. Therefore, we only have the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs present today for purposes of responding to the Question directed to his Ministry by the Nairobi City County Senator, Sen. Edwin Sifuna. Therefore, for this session, we will proceed with the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs only, because the other two are not present today. The Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the Senate, a place that you are extremely familiar with. Welcome this morning. Hon. Senators, we are going to have a very heavy day. I may even limit the number of supplementary questions that may be directed to the Cabinet Secretary, so that we handle the other heavy agenda that will be laid before us. We expect a Supplementary Order Paper as these proceedings are ongoing, so that we prosecute other urgent matters. With that, I will allow the Senator for Nairobi City-County, Sen. Edwin Sifuna, to proceed and ask his Question."
