Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee for the response that I see has been signed by the Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Fred Matiangi. I cannot take anything against the Chairperson because he is reading what has been relayed to him by the Cabinet Secretary.

I can hear Hon. Chris Wakhungu Wamalwa, the incoming Governor of Trans Nzoia, saying that he is only a conveyor. As much as we cannot punish the conveyor or the messenger, he must also respond to the House in a manner that is in line with our own procedures and precedents. If you look at the issues that I sought to know from the Ministry, one was the question of whether this particular gentleman was deported or he left the country voluntarily. In matters to do with deportation, as the Chairperson has pointed out, you do not just wake up ...

The other issue I had sought information on was a report that the Committee was interrogating regarding withdrawal of security. It is the same notorious Cabinet Secretary who invited himself to a Committee meeting, purported to carry out lifestyle audit on the Deputy President without tabling any iota of evidence. If we allow cabinet secretaries and anybody else, including myself, to use this House or to use Committees of the House to advance political shenanigans, we shall be doing this country and the people of Kenya a lot of injustice.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am well guided. What Hon. TJ Kajwang’ is saying is, indeed, true. But if he had listened to me carefully, I said that in explaining the reason, I sought the statement in the first place. I sought that statement to dissuade not just cabinet secretaries but even myself from using the Floor of this House to say anything disparaging towards Hon. Kajwang’ or that Cabinet Secretary or any other Kenyan who has no place to defend themselves in this House. The issues that have been responded to are extremely unsatisfactory.

You know, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, some things are not even worth responding to. You have put it right. Hon. Mwathi is raising extraneous issues that he purports were said last time while he was away. I do not know where he was and it is not my business to know. Everything I say in this House is not secret. It is on TheHansard . He is at liberty to go through The Hansard and check what was said.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is only that the Chairperson and other Members are getting a little agitated. I said the statement as it is does not address the issues I raised.
