I overheard a conversation that even the letter that was written was addressed to a committee and not the plenary. It seems the Cabinet Secretary is not even aware that he was supposed to be in plenary this morning."

Indeed, the Cabinet Secretary was aware that he was supposed to appear this morning before the plenary, but he chose not to appear, giving the reason as an engagement in other official duties."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take it from there. Two of my colleagues have talked about what these cabinet secretaries do when they accompany the President to public rallies. I have heard Cabinet Secretary Hon. Mbadi speak about increasing the allocation of Jaramogi Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital to Kshs3 billion. I have also heard Hon. Opiyo Wandayi speaking about how much money he has put for electrification of his rural area in Nyanza. He even said that the money they have borrowed on behalf of Kenya has gone to his region. The majority of the people who have benefited are from his region. When a cabinet secretary increases the allocation to Jaramogi Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, what about Coast General Hospital? Mr. Mbadi, have you forgotten that you are also a cabinet secretary for the Coast region? Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, when you say you have gone to borrow money on behalf of Kenya to take to Nyanza, what about Tana River County? What about the Coast region? What is wrong with you, people? I think there is a problem with these people when they accompany the President on these political rallies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we should pass a law that cabinet secretaries should not accompany the President to political rallies. These people are supposed to be technical. The people who should accompany the President and be on the ground are governors and Members of Parliament. What do they do? The fact is that they do not go to those places if the President is not there. You will not see them doing official things such as opening the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). It is high disrespect for The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

I pray that the President watching this will call his cabinet secretaries to order. They are supposed to serve the Republic of Kenya and not their rural constituencies. It is wrong. Tana River County has never had a cabinet secretary since independence. So, what do we do? What will happen to us? Shame on these people."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me join my colleagues in contributing to this discussion. I remember yesterday we discussed this matter in the Senate Business Committee (SBC) and this letter did not come yesterday. What happens in the absence of these cabinet secretaries appearing in the House? There is a reason why we requested cabinet secretaries to appear on the Floor of this House. We also have other businesses to do. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you said it on the Floor of the House that this is the time for action. We want to see that action. We cannot come running here in the morning and then the people supposed to appear and account for whatever they are doing for this country are giving excuses. Therefore, if it there is a need to change the Standing Orders, we must do so and hold these cabinet secretaries accountable. To some extent, we can say that they can accompany the President to account for what they are doing within their ministries. However, the priority should be the Parliament and not that rally. As a House, can we stop lamenting? We should surcharge the cabinet secretaries if they do not indicate that he will not be available two or three days before the sitting. Thank you."

"content": "Bw. Spika, asante sana kwa nafasi hii. Nawapa kongole Maseneta ambao wamemfokea Waziri wa Fedha na Mipango ya Uchumi ambaye ameanza kuonyesha utovu wa nidhamu. Mamlaka imemwingia kichwani. Amekosa kuheshimu Seneti kama Bunge la kuwakilisha raia. Najihusisha na matamshi ya mheshimiwa Mungatana. Kenya hii ina kaunti 47, zaidi ya maeneo bunge 290 na wadi zaidi ya 1000. Makabila yote yamo hapa nchini. Iwapo mawaziri watakuwa wanazingatia maeneo yao na kutenga fedha za kuwatetea makwao, hakuna haja wao kuleta stakabadhi za kupitishwa hapa Seneti. Waende katika vijiji vyao kupitisha bajeti zao. Watuachie sisi Bunge la Seneti na la Kitaifa kuwatetea Wakenya. Bw. Spika, ni dhahiri shahiri kwamba hali sio nzuri hapa Kenya. Kila mara sisi ambao tuko mrengo wa serikali tunawatetea kutunga sheria. Tunaketi hadi usiku wa manane kuhakikisha kwamba sheria tunazotunga zinaboresha maisha ya wananchi. Hatuwezi kesha hivyo kisha yule tuliyempa mamlaka na nafasi ya kuamrisha jinsi fedha zitatumwa, anatupiga teke. Hatubembelezani hivyo.

Juzi wamekuwa wakiturai hapa tupige kura ziende mashinani tukakubali kwamba tuko katika serikali ila wale tunaowatetea wanatudharau na kutuonyesha kiburi. Sasa tukubaliane na nawaomba viongozi katika mrengo wa serikali--- Ipo siku watakuja kutuomba tupige kura kupitisha Miswada yao. Tukatae kisha tuone ikiwa watatupigia makofi au kutushurutisha."
