    "content": "Where is Eugene Wamalwa? But he is not seated at the Front Bench. Under the circumstances, due to the failure by the Minister for Local Government to answer this Question which is not only listed on the Order Paper because it is routine to list Questions on the Order Paper but it is listed on the Order Paper because it was a specific date and day requested by the Minister, the Chair has no alternative but to sanction the Minister. The Minister will not transact any business on the Floor of this House which essentially is the only thing that the Chair can do. Anything beyond that--- If a Minister is not taking his business serious, it is upon the House itself, the Members and precisely, the Back-benchers to move and bring other relevant avenues or Motions in the House to discipline that Minister. However, under the circumstances, I will direct that this Minister will not transact any business until he is able to satisfy the Chair why he is not able to answer this Question today. That should be a lesson for the other Ministers. Parliamentary business in any democracy is serious. A Government is only a Government worth its name if it can be adequately defended by Members of the Front Bench on the Floor of the House, and more so, in the full glare of Kenyans right now. Next Question!"
