I want to report to the House that we had had a lousy relationship. However, we brought the temperatures down today. We had a very fruitful discussion. Hon. Keter’s Question was answered, though partly because it is cross-cutting. It will also go to the State Department of Agriculture. We will process and bring the answer of this particular Question to this House within two weeks.

Those were the challenges that we were going through. Everytime we wrote to them they wrote back to us. The CS was not the one who was writing to us but a technical advisor. Somebody leaked the information that you had directed that he has to appear before us. He decided to do so.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to bring to your attention and that of the Members to some of the tribulations that we, Members of Parliament, go through while executing our mandate. I have an office at Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC). I think more Members have offices there. From yesterday, we have been unable to access them. The more we insist that we are Members of Parliament and that we have nothing to do with the conference – that we just want to access our offices – the more those officers become adamant. We have been told that we ...

On 5th November 2019 - this month - the CS wrote to you and it was also copied to us that he would appear before us - this Committee - tomorrow. That is so that he would answer the ...

to appear before committees. The Leader of the Majority Party has just tabled a Supplementary Budget which is supposed to be processed by the end of the month. I know the CSs will be available to come and answer questions to do with the Supplementary Budget. But when it comes to Questions and issues that have been raised by Members, they are busy and not available. I do not know how we are going to proceed because Hon. Ichung’wah here, who is my good friend, has said that we need to give a report by next week. The same CS ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that we got that Question together with many others. We directed them to the relevant Ministry. It is frustrating to say that for the last four months, we have been looking for the CS. He has either refused or decided not to appear before the Committee. For the last four months, we have been looking for the CS but unfortunately, he has refused to appear before us. Last week - because he was supposed to appear before us - I directed the clerk to write to you informing you that we have been ...
