Hon. colleagues from the Minority side, the point is that, it is time they made up their mind, whether they believe in this process or they do not. Otherwise, this business of on one day giving the Senate sessions - as they have done the last six or so weeks - a wide bath, not appearing, then suddenly out of the blues make up on one beautiful Wednesday morning such as today and say that they want to stop the proceedings.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is what you refer to as goodwill in your actions. If you come before the House with goodwill, believe you me, Sen. Wambua, if you had been appearing previously and you believed in this process and then today you raise that particular Standing Order, I would have taken the opportunity to listen and say maybe they have a point.

What is the justification of somebody who has never shown any interest whatsoever in the sessions that have been happening? The CS, Moses Kuria is the 10th or the 11th Cabinet Secretary appearing before this House. Our colleagues on the Minority side have never taken time to listen to any particular Cabinet Secretary. However, today they want to stop the rest of us who want to continue holding the Executive to account, as is constitutionally expected of us as hon. Senators in this House to stop that particular process. I do not believe it is fair on their side.

You know the procedures of this House; until a matter is before and alive on the Floor of the House, it is foreign and strange business before us.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, before Sen. Cherarkey read the concluding part of his Statement – you would think this is a conspiracy – I moved to the Clerks’ Table. I asked the Deputy Clerk, Mr. Mohamed, about the Standing Order which indicates the people who can address this Parliament. I wanted to read, internalize and see what limitations we have. Later on, Sen. Cherarkey mentioned in his Statement that Kenyans who achieve such great feat are worth appearing before us. We have made it appear as if when Kenyans achieve great things, it is okay and proper for them to be ...

The Question that the Cabinet Secretary is appearing to answer was asked by Sen. Chute more than two months ago. In fact, I like the opening comments that you made. You have been asking the Cabinet Secretary to first give a justifiable reason why it has taken him this long for him to appear before this House before he even responds to the Question. Therefore, I request that we allow the Cabinet Secretary to respond to the Question. In any case, the Question was filed earlier than the Censure Motion which my brother has filed. Once the Censure Motion has ...
