    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, as has been the custom in this House since the beginning of the 13th Parliament, a Cabinet Secretary normally comes to answer questions and requests for statements on Wednesday afternoons. The Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Roads and Transport was expected to appear here before we went on recess. However, we were informed by the Speaker that he had sought the indulgence of the House to skip that session and attend the first Wednesday when the House resumes. I have looked at the Supplementary Order Paper, and there is no indication at all that the Cabinet Secretary will be present in the House today. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I seek your guidance on this matter because this is going to be the second time in a row that the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Roads and Transport has missed these sessions. You need to guide us on what to do because these questions are of importance to our constituencies and to the people of Kenya. If cabinet secretaries cannot spare time to come to Parliament, then I do not understand why we had to amend our Standing Order to ask them to come to the House to answer questions. Thank you."
