Sen. Cheruiyot On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided by your decision. I want to bring to your attention that this is conduct unbecoming on the part of the two Cabinet Secretaries. Appearance before Parliament is not a privilege and is not something that you joke with. While I appreciate that...
