Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. What has been raised by Members is a very important concern. You recall, three weeks ago when one of the Ministers was supposed to appear here, Members in this House expressed their concerns. I recall we requested the Speaker to issue a Communication from this House expressing the concern of Members because of the failure of Cabinet Secretaries to appear before this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to agree with the other Members. It is the Head of State who requested this House to amend the Standing Orders of this House and the other ...

Senate takes care of the interests of the county governments and the interest of the counties. I appreciate the fact that Members are raising a serious concern. I believe that this House should assert itself so that the Cabinet Secretaries should be able to take seriously their work and ensure they appear as and when they are called upon.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be brief. I am a Member of this Committee. I rise to support this Motion to extend the time for another 45 days. Under the leadership of our Chair, Sen. Kavindu Muthama, we have covered a number of stakeholders. We have been able to meet the victims of this bomb blast. We met the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Health and the team, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and many other departments. We still have a number of stakeholders that we need to engage so that we are able to come back to ...

to school; orphans, widows and widowers. It is not a situation where we want to bring a report which is not complete and comprehensive. The extension is justifiable. As said by a colleague here, we also need to go to America. We are already planning to have a session with the Senate of the USA so that we are able to look at the legal framework in that country. The challenge we have is that there is no legal framework that enables the Government of the USA to pay the victims of this bomb blast. Kenya is a friend to ...
