    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the reasons why we have all the noise that comes from the National Assembly is because this House has summoned CSs and taken them to task on matters security and environment. I am happy that the Cabinet Secretary for Water and Sanitation today appeared before a Committee of this House to answer questions of oil spillage in Makueni. We have also dealt with the matter of water when it comes to the dam that burst in Nakuru County. We have dealt with the Ruaraka land issue and come up with a serious report. That is public land and it has been confirmed by the High Court. That shows the seriousness and commitment of Members of the Senate who are tasked with the responsibilities at the national level on behalf of the people of Kenya. However, there are people who use the backdoor to mislead Members of the National Assembly that this House cannot summon people. Let it be known to the people of Kenya that this House can summon anybody at any time under Article 125 of the Constitution. We have the responsibility to do so, so that we interrogate the functions that those people are engaged in."
