    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you heard what the distinguished Vice Chair said. The Executive is accountable to Parliament. When an issue is raised in this House or any other House, it is demeaning for the Vice Chair of a committee to go and queue in the Office of a CS up to 5.30 p.m. when we have channels of communication through our officers sitting here. Has accountability to Parliament diminished? Be that as it may, yesterday, the distinguished Sen. Adan told this House that even as she was planning to bring a statement today, something was going to be done by the Government to remove those returnees from the gate of Parliament. To date, nothing has happened. We do not want to cite examples of very unpleasant events that have happened in the same manner in comparable jurisdictions because I am sure we know. Those Kenyans – returnees from Uganda – have now been at that gate for more than a week. Is it so uncaring that this Government cannot even take those people to a holding ground where they can get facilities such as water, toilets, food and other basic amenities, bearing in mind that a woman among them delivered a baby at the gate? We are still being told that a Statement is awaiting a signature from a CS who of late has become very arrogant that he spends all his time warning everybody instead of working."
