    "content": " Order, Members! I cannot agree more with what the Members have expressed. I order that the Chair of the Committee writes to the Cabinet Secretary. We need that Statement on Thursday. Failure to do so, this House will take the necessary sanctions against the responsible Cabinet Secretary. That is true too for the Statement sought from the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Health. In the meantime, the Senate Majority Leader must also take his responsibility of dealing with such kind of Cabinet Secretaries who are embarrassing the Government. He should make necessary presentations to the relevant offices. Our children are now protected in our Constitution because they are vulnerable. We have been told that two have been confirmed dead. So, you can imagine the fear that the presumption on the remaining ones is the same. Time is of the essence. If there is one Ministry that has its tentacles all over the country, then it is this one in question. How can it fail to deliver on such basic information? The public officers must do their jobs and be accountable to the Kenyan people. The business of Parliament is to ensure that accountability is done. Those are my directions. There will be subsequent ones if they persistently fail to deliver on their mandate. Hon. Members, as we conclude the Statements for today and revisiting other issues, may I make a Communication."
