    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a problem. When the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations wants to hide behind you Chair... This is the National Assembly. Those people were recruited publicly, and during the day. There is no other House that is more supreme than this Assembly. That, the Ministry of Defence, in the name of recruiting people from Bumula Constituency, brought other people. That is the reason why he has not given us those names. It is a question that has been addressed to him. Why should I have to go and meet the Cabinet Secretary in camera ? No! I refuse to do so. This is the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. We have asked the Chairperson of the Committee to produce the people that were purportedly recruited from Bumula Constituency. Other Members feel that they have the same problem. How do we just move forward like that? How do we move forward when constituency A has 20 recruits while Bumula Constituency has zero recruits? Bumula Constituency is continually being disenfranchised. We cannot proceed like that. That is why we are saying that we will not go to see the Cabinet Secretary. The Chairperson of the Committee has to give this House the names of the people who were recruited. The question was asked in this House."
