"content": " Hon. Speaker, it is very unfortunate. You are aware of Article 125 that the Committee of Parliament can summon anybody anywhere. You should allow us to impeach one Cabinet Secretary as a lesson so that these Cabinet Secretaries take Parliament seriously. Dr. Matiang’i is not a super Minister. As we speak right now, we have a lot of issues going on in our constituencies and the constituents expect answers. Parliament cannot act in vain. The best thing the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security can do is to bring an impeachment Motion so that it can serve as a lesson. He is not the only one. The way the Cabinet Secretaries undermine the House cannot be allowed anymore. It is this House that vets them. They have forgotten about that. It is this House that approves them. They are not elected. We are the ones who are elected by the people. We cannot allow the sovereignty of Parliament to be taken for granted. Thank you, we should impeach immediately."
