Kathuri","speaker_title":"The Deputy Speaker","speaker":{"id":13590,"legal_name":"Murungi Kathuri","slug":"murungi-kathuri"},"content":" Sen. Sifuna, I clearly explained the reason and I had eye contact with you when I was giving the communication. The letter says- “However, given other pre-arranged official engagements, I will not be in a position to attend the Senate Plenary as scheduled.” That is the explanation that I have in this letter. Unfortunately, the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry is here. I do not want to engage in that discussion when we have a visitor unless she gives us five minutes to settle that matter with the Senators."}
