It is a pity because Hon. Keter and Hon. Munyes were in this House. They should know that when this House invites you, you should come without waiting for summons. They should know that they have a responsibility under Article 153 of the Constitution to appear before this House.

Be it as it may, I will not say that they are the worst of the sinners. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government has never come here. We have invited him on the matter of people being killed but he has never come. Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Mucheru, has been invited by this House on ICT matters but he has never come. The contempt with which the Executive treats this House is not a matter of one or two Cabinet Secretaries. It is a collective decision of the Executive. Therefore, we need

to ensure that this House takes the Government to task. We should know where the Kshs35 billion went and the decision of the President. I am not going to listen to a Cabinet Secretary who perhaps has never met the President for the past six or seven months. I want to know the position of the President and the Government of Kenya on the question of fuel prices. That is what we want this House to deliver on. The last thing I want to talk about is that if we want to move forward as a House, we should not ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have anticipated my point of order. My point of order is on the adjournment of the House. You ruled that we were adjourning for 30 minutes. If the HANSARD will bear me witness, we have done more than one hour. It is actually one-and-a-half hours since we adjourned. What is the time now? Yes, we adjourned for more than one-and-a-half hours. The one hour beyond the 30 minutes of adjournment would have served us debating other very important issues as we wait for the Committee on Energy to be ready. For purposes of the future, when ...

On a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Olekina in order to mislead the public that the Motion brought by Sen. Orengo discusses merely the two Cabinet Secretaries? To the contrary, the Motion puts precedence on the question of discussing the grave concern on the unprecedented increase in fuel and electricity cost and the adverse effects that they have on the economy and the livelihoods of the people of Kenya. That is the first issue that we will debate tomorrow before we even discuss anything about the Cabinet Secretaries. Secondly, when a Motion has been brought to this ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the rules that apply to this House as rightly captured by yourself are particularly different from the ones that refer to a general discussion by media houses on our performance as leaders, even outside there.
