However, Mr Cheptumo said that Mr Chebukati wrote to the House clerk Michael Sialai requesting for a reschedule as they were busy supervising the ongoing by-elections in Kinondo Ward, Kwale County and Ruguru Ward in Nyeri County. “Because their reason for failing to come is valid, the committee will deliberate on their appearance at a later date,” Mr Cheptumo said.
