    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the dynamism of this meeting was that for the first time we would have the two Cabinet Secretaries at the same time. We wanted to cross check information between the two so that where there is a gap, for instance, in education matters; we see how infiltration and interception can come from security matters and vice versa. Unfortunately, we could not do this. Going by the suggestion by Sen. Kagwe, when the report is tabled, we can find out whether the intercession has been addressed. If it is not, then we may need to get into another engagement at that level. Secondly, since many Senators were around the precincts, it would have been appropriate for another message to be sent out so as to quickly whip most Senators to the Chamber. That happened and it is gone. This situation arose because there were changes in communication as Sen. Karaba explained. Some of these factors may have been beyond our control at that moment because we did not get confirmations early. That put us in that situation. In future, we should make sure that we have a very set programme and time and try to adhere to it. The key issue is for the Cabinet Secretaries to make their appearance before the Senate a priority. That will help us follow through the programme."
