Actually, Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the direction that I wanted to take. Having considered that my colleague and Senate Majority Leader has requested for a Statement which is similar to the one that I wanted this House to be furnished with, I decided to shelve mine. However, what I want to do, in accordance to the direction that you have just given to the Senator for Homa Bay, is just to make a brief comment with regards to what the Senate Majority Leader is raising and bringing before this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is good that we are ...

Do not seek to prosecute your cases in the court of public opinion. Let politicians do that, but for you, because you have been given a salient duty, push your cases in court. Let us see people being tried and let it march with statements that have been recorded. Otherwise, so long as it appears as if it is a certain line and trend of thought that you want to pursue, then we are not going to win this war. It is important that we get answers to the things that are being raised by Senate Majority Leader.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The revelations that have come to the Floor of this House are extremely shocking, that a Cabinet Secretary (CS), an officer appointed and paid by the taxpayers of this country, can have such blatant disregard for the proceedings of this House, is not only unprecedented but also completely unheard of.

interdependently engage and co-exist with each other. When Parliament summons you, it is the people of Kenya that have called you to give an explanation.
