Ila iwaje mtu atangaze fedha za kuenda kwao ilhali sisi tunaambiwa wamepandisha? Kupandisha nini? Katika nyumba zao, ukiamka kuna vitu unapandisha. Katika serikali, bendera hupandishwa. Kwa hivyo, ni lazima watueleze wamepandisha nini katika kaunti hizi zote ili Mkenya afurahi kwamba tunaunga serikali mkono. Hatutakubali upumbavu, kiburi na fedheha tunayoona. Naomba kama Jumba la Seneta, amurishwe kuja hapa. Huko kwetu akija akibwatabwata kitaumana. Sisi sio watoto. Sisi ni viongozi tuliopigiwa kura. Tunawaheshimu, wao pia watuheshimu. Njia ni mbili. Asante sana."

"content": " Hon. Senators, we have with us the Cabinet Secretary for Education. He has about seven questions. We will be doing a lot of disservice if we eat into the time that the Hon. Cabinet Secretary would have used to respond to these questions. I have heard your frustrations, disappointments and concerns. Indeed, this letter is contemptuous. It does not even indicate the reason why the Cabinet Secretary is not present. Standing Order No.51(D) clearly states that if a cabinet secretary fails to appear for no good reason, a Censure Motion can ensue."

I have allowed a number of you to ventilate your frustrations so that a clear message is sent to the Executive on the frustrations that this House goes through when it wants to handle the question time. You will agree with me that some time back, we had to adjourn the question time because there was no cabinet secretary present. A morning sitting was almost collapsing if we did not have any other business that was indicated in the Order Paper. Hon. Senators, we have lamented for quite some time. Time has come for you, hon. Senators, to invoke the provisions of Standing Order No.51(D)."

"content": "Move a censure Motion, so that this Senate can regain its respect. The cabinet secretaries can also acknowledge, indeed, that this is a House that speaks for and on behalf of the people. The questions that are supposed to be answered by the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning arise from concerns raised by Kenyans, not just you as Senators. Therefore, any cabinet secretary failing to appear for purposes of responding to these questions is basically failing Kenyans. Hon. Senators, we have talked, lamented and vented our frustrations enough. Move an official censure Motion against some of these cabinet secretaries, so that we can see some seriousness going forward. Let us leave it there and allow the Cabinet Secretary for Education, who is in the House, to proceed and answer the questions before us. You will note that we have about six questions, so it will take quite some time before we discharge the Cabinet Secretary. The more we vent our anger against the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, the more we eat into the time that we would have otherwise allowed the Cabinet Secretary for Education to respond to these very many questions. Therefore, hon. Senators, allow me to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Education for purposes of responding to the questions directed to his ministry. Clerk, can you confirm that the Cabinet Secretary is in the House?"

You have heard anger and frustrations, though not directed to you, but that is a warning that when invited here, please appear so that this anger is not directed at you. Beyond this anger, there is a deadly weapon that when the hon. Senators elect to use it, it may be detrimental to some careers of some of the cabinet secretaries. Once you are censured, that is a very big dent in your career. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, I hope that you will continue with the good work and respect this House as and when called upon to come and respond to these questions. We will start with Question No.052 by Sen. Catherine Mumma. Kindly, proceed to ask the question."
