Hon. Senators, as you can see on the Order Paper, today, we are expecting two Cabinet Secretaries: The Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, hon. (Eng.) Eric Muriithi Mugaa, and the Cabinet Secretary for Health, hon. (Dr.) Deborah Barasa. It has come to my attention that the Cabinet Secretary of Water, Sanitation, and Irrigation is accompanying His Excellency the President on a working tour or trip to Mombasa. Therefore, he has requested the Senate to indulge him so that he can try to sort out the water issues in the Coast Region. Noting that the Coast has water-scarce counties, ...

Senate Leader of the Majority, I do not want us to open this debate because it is somewhat reasonable that he has not appeared. However, I said anytime he is around this city, he should appear before the Senate to answer his questions. Hon. Senators, this gentleman is a first offender. This is the first invitation. I am aware of this, and we should be lenient with the Cabinet Secretary and encourage him to do what the Senate Majority Leader has requested him to do.

I agree with you, hon. Senators and the leadership. He should learn as fast as possible that communication is key. There is nothing impromptu as the Senate Majority Leader said. The Cabinet Secretary has been guided accordingly by the Senate, that he should be communicating early enough. Sen. Sifuna, you said you do not know his name? His name is Eng. Eric Muriithi Muuga. I represent him in the Senate, but not on this matter. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard ...

Yes, because I am the Senator for Meru. I was elected by majority votes in the county with more than 350,000 out of 400,000 voters. However, I agree with you. We need to be respected as the Senate. Even though he is my brother, he needs to handle the Senate with a lot of respect and decorum. He has no choice. Hon. Members, the Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation are deferred.
