    "content": " Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, while I appreciate your frustrations, I think taking that drastic measure of inviting Ministers directly to respond has certain challenges in terms of our constitutional arrangement. I think it is also too early to start thinking which way is the right way. Let me direct this way: First, I want to thank Sen. Kembi-Gitura for stepping in due to the absence of the leadership of the Committee. We do not know how the Committee has progressed with the issues raised starting with Sen. Lesuuda’s issue on Baragoi insecurity, Sen. Halima’s on CCTV in Nairobi and thirdly Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo’s query on raid by cattle rustlers in Apuke. Since we are all recognizing that they have taken a bit of time, I wish to direct as follows: That, the Committee submits responses to all those issues by, latest, Thursday this week. Failure to do so, the Senate Majority Leader must make a Statement, as originally requested by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on Tuesday. If both parties fail to do the needful, I will be more than willing to allow the House to take the necessary sanctions. In matters of security, just to borrow the CCTV example and the link on Westgate attack, you can really appreciate the importance of such a matter. I know the leadership of the Committee is responsible and even the Committee in its entirety whether they are few or many, according to Sen. Wamatangi. We will call upon them to work between now and Thursday afternoon to ensure that the House gets responses to all those Statements."
