    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on this matter of appearances by Cabinet Secretaries, it is true that some of these questions are very old and matters are pending in courts. It is also true that other Cabinet Secretaries have been invited, but they have not explained why they are not here. There must be a way of making sure that this House is respected and that questions are answered. I am one of the Members who had questions for Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki who is my friend. I asked a question about six months ago in relation with the killings of demonstrators and abductions, but I know that I may not get the answers. We are waiting for the outcome of the court regarding his case, but the rest of the Cabinet Secretaries should be here. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a stern warning must be sent that if you fail to show up, you ought to have a sufficient reason, such as having a Cabinet meeting or being outside the country and there must be notification to the House. The House must be respected because we represent counties and the people of Kenya. We are here on behalf of the people of Kenya who employed these Cabinet Secretaries. I thank you."
