    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to make a comment on the circus that we are being treated to, as a House, by this Committee. To the best of my knowledge, I concur with the sentiments raised by the Senator for Isiolo that somehow, as a House, we appear to have lost track on this issue. This is because, earlier on, there was a ruling from the Chair that this matter be taken up by a Committee of the Whole House. You will recall that when the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health appeared before us, it was the Senate Majority Leader who led the deliberations that day. Therefore, it was our assumption at that particular time that, that was the trail of thought or line of pursuit that we were to follow on this particular matter. That appears to have hit a snag or dead end and the matter reverted to the Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, seated on that same Chair and posing as you are right now, you gave clear and concise instructions that this House be furnished with this report without fail. First of all, the fact that the Chair of the Committee is not available to show goodwill and state the challenges that they have faced, is a clear case of not taking the work and business of this House seriously. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request that you give direction on this matter. The Chairperson was seated here a few minutes ago. He should be found wherever he is - I believe he is still within the precincts of Parliament - and be brought to the House to give an explanation."
