    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The revelations that have come to the Floor of this House are extremely shocking, that a Cabinet Secretary (CS), an officer appointed and paid by the taxpayers of this country, can have such blatant disregard for the proceedings of this House, is not only unprecedented but also completely unheard of. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government can run but cannot hide. Whatever he does, eventually, he will appear before this Committee before long and answer to the questions that Senators have about the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS). I did not ask these questions out of child’s play or ignorance. It is because I am tired of going to public functions and members of the public are asking me, “Senator, we have given you a platform in Parliament to find out the things that the Government is doing and you cannot come back to us and feign ignorance before us about issues of such extreme magnitude as registration of persons”. We are talking of collection of DNA and storage of data of Kenyans. How difficult was it for him – today, if you look at the photos of the function that the Cabinet Secretary had in Embu, amongst the officers who are accompanying him is the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) who sat here. So, that tells you that this is just utter contempt. First of all, he needs to be embarrassed because, whatever he is doing is against the spirit of what the President has urged us to do as a country. This morning, the President while addressing the nation, urged all the three arms of Government to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
