"content": " Hon. Senators, I agree with Sen. Murungi. You have brought to my attention Article 153 of the Constitution which obliges a Cabinet Secretary to attend, but you see that can only be enforced by Article 125 of the Constitution. For the enforcement of Article 125, I do not even have to make a ruling from the Chair because it is administrative. Therefore, it is for the Committee to decide that it has become necessary for it to invoke Article 125 of the Constitution. The importance of telling us here in the House is so that we are able to know as a House that you do not have an answer for Sen. Murungi because the Cabinet Secretary has not been able to appear before you after many requests. Next time you come and give me the same answer, I will ask you what you have done regarding the constitutional provisions of Articles 153 and 125 of the Constitution."
