[Picture, Standard]Members of Parliament have faulted top Interior ministry officials for their failure to attend parliamentary committee sittings whenever they are summoned. Last August, Matiang’i appeared before Senate’s security committee over the arrest of three senators. The session – which the media was barred from – came hot on the heels of another one that the Interior CS failed to attend. In February 2019, the CS angered senators in the security committee after failing to appear to issue a status report on the government’s Huduma Namba project. The script was similar in June 2018 when the CS skipped a meeting with a joint parliamentary committee investigating contraband sugar importation.
